JAKARTA - Deputy Head of the National Nutrition Agency (BGN) Agustina Arumsari said that the incident of broken glass at the BGN Center office in Kebon Sirih, Menteng, Central Jakarta was due to swelling.
Agustina when confirmed denied the alleged shooting as circulated in several mass media and social media.
"There is broken glass, but the cause is still being checked, it seems to be due to expansion, glass outside (exposed to heat) and from the inside cold, air-conditioned," he said as quoted by ANTARA, Thursday, July 9.
Agustina emphasized that until Thursday afternoon, employees continued to work as usual and there was no policy for evacuation.
"We work as usual," he said.
Previously, there was a lot of news about the shooting and terrorism issue that made the glass in the BGN Headquarters building crack and the fragments fell to the ground floor. The information was confirmed to be untrue or hoaxes.
Head of the Central Jakarta Metro Police, Commissioner General Reynold EP Hutagalung, denied that there was a shooting at the office. Based on information received from the building management, glass breakage in the building often occurs during the dry season.
Meanwhile, the building manager, Martin, also said that the breaking of the glass of the BGN building in Central Jakarta was not a new incident because similar incidents had occurred several times since 2018 and were allegedly caused by expansion.
In the building, said Martin, at least once every one to two years there must be a cracked or broken glass, such as on floors 5, 6, 7, 8 which have already broken and have been replaced simultaneously because they continue to experience expansion.
