Joint officers consist of the Transportation Service (Dishub), the police and the DKI Jakarta Civil Service Police Unit (Satpol PP) control illegal parking in the Istiqlal Mosque area.

"For (illegal parking in the Istiqlal Mosque area) in the central area, friends from the Central Jakarta Transportation Sub-dept. (Central Jakarta) together with the Central Jakarta Police, Satpol PP, yesterday (16/5) have brought order," said Head of the DKI Jakarta Transportation Agency Syafrin Liputo at the Jakarta International Equestrian Park (JIEP), East Jakarta, reported by ANTARA, Wednesday, May 17.

This affirmation is related to the circulation of videos on Instagram social media @lensa_berita_jakarta about a resident who said he was charged a parking fee of Rp. 10,000 per motorbike.

The resident admitted that it was the first time he had prayed at Istiqlal and wanted to perform Maghrib prayers. Then, he asked whether or not there was a parking lot in the mosque.

Because he was answered that no one was there, he also parked his vehicle in the illegal parking lot. However, after returning to the parking area, he was shocked after learning that the parking fee was IDR 10,000.

In addition, Syafrin emphasized that his party also continues to control and take action against illegal parking attendants elsewhere.

"Now the illegal parking is being carried out, we continue to control it, while the illegal parking attendants will be controlled (also)," said Syafrin.

Previously, the Head of the Sawah Besar Transportation Implementation Unit (Kasatpel) Afif Muhoji led the control of illegal parking in front of the entrance to the Istiqlal Mosque.

"In this case, following up on public complaints regarding illegal levies by illegal jukir (parking attendants) with a nominal tariff of Rp. 10,000 for motorbikes," Afif said in the Istiqlal Mosque area, Central Jakarta, Monday (15/5).

Even the joint officers of the three pillars, said Afif, also took firm action in accordance with applicable regulations if there was illegal parking in the future.

The Central Jakarta Transportation Agency (Sudinhub) also appealed to the public to park cars and motorbikes within the Istiqlal Mosque area to anticipate this.
