JAKARTA - Polda Metro Jaya will implement a traffic diversion scheme during demonstrations by groups of workers who are members of the Confederation of Indonesian Workers' Unions (KSPI) related to the Old Age Security (JHT) regulations. However, its application depends on the situation and conditions that occur in the field.

"The situation (the flow diversion scheme, ed), is looking at the development of the situation," said Traffic Director of Polda Metro Jaya Kombes Sambodo Purnomo Yogo when contacted on Wednesday, February 16.

This means that the implementation of the traffic flow scheme will be implemented if the demonstration is considered disturbing the motorists.

In addition, in securing the demonstration, continued Sambodo, about 50 personnel were alerted. They will regulate the flow of traffic at the demonstration point to keep it conducive.

"We mobilized 50 personnel then," said Sambodo.

Meanwhile, labor groups will hold demonstrations in front of the Ministry of Manpower office and at the BPJS Ketenagakerjaan head office.

This demonstration aims to urge the Minister of Manpower Regulation No. 2 of 2022 which regulates the Old Age Security (JHT) to be disbursed only at the age of 56 to be revoked.
