JAKARTA - The land is about 2 hectares in the location of the former fire in RT 03/05, South Petojo Village, Gambir District, Central Jakarta is known to not belong to residents. However, for land ownership, further checks are still being carried out. Gambir Sub-district Head Andri Ferdian said that when he was the local village head, the land belonged to Pertamina. "The area (land) is 2 hectares, regarding the ownership of permits is still confusing. In the past, when I was head of the village here, the information belonged to Pertamina," Gambir Sub-district Head Andri Ferdian told VOI at the location of the fire, Tuesday, February 28. As is known, residents who lived in the previous fire site were dominated by immigrants from Madura. The migrants who lived alternated, because they worked as traders. Some came and some left.

Therefore, many migrant residents have contracted and did not report themselves to the head of the local RT/RW when living in the area. "Residents should be proactive in reporting. So if there is an incident like this, Mr. RT, there is data. It must be from the community who is active in reporting," he said. The sub-district appealed to immigrants living in Jakarta to comply with population administration by reporting themselves. "When it comes, 1x24 hours must report themselves to be recorded," he said. Previously, the Gambir Metro Police together with the Forensic Laboratory Center (Puslabfor) of the National Police Headquarters conducted a crime scene investigation and sampling of land, debris and charcoal from the fire site at the former fire site, RT 03/05, Petojo Selatan Village, Gambir District, Central Jakarta on Tuesday, February 28, afternoon. Gambir Metro Police Chief Kompol Mugia Yarry Junanda said, from Puslabfor there were several samples brought from the crime scene and then carried out other crime scenes. "The alleged hotspots were in the middle of the fire site and had been sampled. We are waiting from Puslabfor," said Kompol Mugia to VOI at the scene of the fire (TKP), Gambir area, Tuesday, February 28, afternoon.
