JAKARTA - The chairman of the DKI Jakarta DPRD, Prasetyo Edi Marsudi, highlighted the condition of the residential area of residents living under the Angke 2 Toll Road, precisely in Jelambar Baru Village. Prasetyo admitted that he was worried about the existence of residents' residences there. Because, the condition of the residence under the toll road was not feasible. In fact, a fire had occurred under a similar toll road in 2019, namely under the Pluit Toll Road. "That's a danger, you know, if he had a sudden fire. It used to be a classic problem. Suddenly those who live there are given electricity. Yes, there must be a head of the DKI Jakarta DPRD Building, Tuesday, June 20. If the province, there is Forkopimda. Stay in communication with the apparatus, disseminated," explained Prasetyo. Under the Angke 2 Toll Road, a number of residents live in rooms that are only limited to the triplek. The height of the toll road is only about 150 centimeters. However, there is an electricity flow used by residents for daily activities. Not many sunlight that can enter within this residential area. The residents' residential areas are also located on the edge of Grogol River. There is a reason why residents inhabit under the Angke 2 Toll which is actually not intended as a residence. Among them, they do not have the cost of paying for the rent and already have economic activity there. Meanwhile, West Jakarta Deputy Mayor Hendra Hidayat said that his party was discussing the issue of controlling community settlements with residents with semi-perman permanent buildings under the Angke 2 Toll Road. I want to coordinate again. This afternoon I want to have a meeting," said Hendra when met at the DKI Jakarta City Hall, Monday, June 19.

Initially, the West Jakarta City Government will collect data on the identity cards (KTP) of the occupants of the hut under the Angke 2 Toll Road which is owned by Jasa Raharja. "We are currently collecting data on several people with DKI ID cards and no. Of course, if for example it already exists, we will do the handling," said Hendra.
