TANGERANG - The perpetrators of installing the sea fence on Kronjo Island, Tangerang Regency get Rp125 thousand per day. This is known based on information from the handyman who installed the fence.

It is known that the Mysterious Fence extends from Teluknaga to Kronjo, Tangerang Regency. The length is estimated at 30.16 km. This also disrupts the activities of fishermen looking for fish on the beach.

"If it's above Rp. 100,000, if it's not Rp. 125 thousand per day," said the fisherman on Pulau Berhitung, Heru when met on Friday, January 10, in the morning.

He also said that the work had taken 3 months to arrive on the island. So, if calculated it reaches Rp. 9 million.

However, if it is calculated from Teluknaga, Tangerang Regency, said Heru, each repairman can get tens of millions of rupiah.

"The pursuit is as much as that from Tanjung Bird here for approximately 5-6 months. If it's here, it's around 3 months," he said.

Heru said that the carpentry who paired the fence came from Ketapang village, Mauk, Tangerang Regency. Because of the position of Ketapang village which is quite close to the area.

Tukangnya dari Mauk, (Desa) Ketapang. Mungkin ada oeang desa Kohod. Jadi setiap wilayah itu diambil daya di wilayahnya masing-masing, cuma orang Kronjonya engga yang mau. Yang kerja itu krynaga terdekat, orang ketepang. Aturannya yang punya wilayahnya, ujarnya

For information, fishermen in Ketapang waters, Mauk, Tangerang Regency, Jayadi (the pseudonym) admitted that they were intimidated when they wanted to protest the installation of a Tangerang sea fence made of bamboo.

At that time, residents jointly protested because of the installation of the fence. However, residents claimed to be visited by one of the people who was considered important in his village, who was usually called Jaro.

Jaro asked residents not to interfere, if they don't want to get into trouble.

"Don't mess around, do you want to be reported by the police? This is a big project," Jayadi said, one of the residents imitating Jaro's words.

After receiving the warning, he chose not to know. Because Jayadi was afraid of the threat.

"Yes, just stay silent, what if the small people are already dealing with the police," he said.
