JAKARTA - Fire victims in the Pasar Gembrong area, RW 01, Cipinang Besar Utara (CBU) Village, Jatinegara District, East Jakarta can breathe a sigh of relief. After living in refugee camps after the fire for a long time, they can live in CBU flats (rusun).

Head of the Management Unit for Simple Rental Flats (UPRS) VII DKI Jakarta, Arja, said that his party is currently making preparations for the transfer of residents of the Gembrong market fire victims to the CBU Flats.

"The plan for Saturday, May 21, is to carry out community service (cleaning the CBU Flats) with the Lurah and Camat. On Monday, May 23, socialization is carried out to residents," Arja told reporters, Thursday, May 19.

This community service is to ensure that the CBU Flats unit and all facilities and infrastructure are ready to be used when the residents of the Gembrong Market fire victims are temporarily inhabited later.

This is because during the settlement revitalization process carried out by the East Jakarta City Government and the DKI Jakarta Baznas Bazis, the fire victims should have been moved from the evacuation tents to the CBU Flats.

"We are waiting for a recommendation from the Mayor how many units are needed. Incidentally, the North Cipinang Besar Flat is still empty, there are no occupants," he said.

Meanwhile, the head of RW 01 Cipinang Besar Utara, Maju Saiman Hutabarat, said that from temporary data, there were 235 heads of families (KK) covering 730 people who would temporarily relocate.

When the data collection is completed and the administrative process at the East Jakarta Public Housing and Settlement Sub-Department is completed, the residents will immediately be moved from the refugee camps to the flats.

The process of revitalizing the settlements of fire victims in Gembrong Market is targeted to be completed within three months.

"This is temporary data, the number can still increase," he said.
