JAKARTA - Two sections of Jalan Medan Merdeka Barat, precisely at the Horse Statue of Arjuna Wiwaha, National Monument Area (Monas), Gambir District, Central Jakarta, were observed to be still passable by vehicles on Friday, March 25, morning.
From the results of VOI's monitoring, hundreds of Brimob personnel were already at the location. The police have not yet closed the two sections of the route.
A number of Brimob members also prepared security equipment ahead of the demonstration which was planned to be held by the Alumni Brotherhood (212) with the theme 'Action for Defending Islam 2503.'
Dirintelkam Polda Metro Jaya Kombes Hirbakh said his party had received notification of the action that would be held in front of the State Palace, Central Jakarta.
In this activity, the masses want to demand the government and law enforcement officers to take action or arrest parties suspected of having committed religious blasphemy. Several mob repellent cars have also been deployed at the site.
Meanwhile, the Ditlantas Polda Metro Jaya claims to have prepared a traffic flow engineering plan to anticipate congestion.
"Closing and diverting the flow is only situational," he said.
