JAKARTA - Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung ordered the Transportation Service (Dishub) to reprimand PT Pelindo and port operator Tanjung Priok. This step must be taken due to the impact of severe congestion due to the queue of large trucks on Wednesday, April 16 to early Friday, April 18.

"I have asked the Head of the Transportation Service to give a warning as harsh as possible. Because it has been three days since this traffic jam, it cannot happen again," Pramono told reporters in Jakarta, Saturday, April 19.

Pramono said this traffic jam was due to the manager forcing the capacity of the Tanjung Priok port. He has received a report from the Transportation Service.

The cost, which is supposed to be 2,500 trucks per day, yesterday was forced to become 4,000 trucks per day. So it experienced jamming and finally I also just found out this morning from the Head of the Transportation Service it was no longer 4,000 but became 7,000 trucks per day," he said.

"This shows that the management's unprofessionalism in Tanjung Priok," continued the PDIP politician.

Previously, TikTok social media showed severe congestion in the Tanjung Priok area, North Jakarta. Not only large and small vehicles were also trapped, but trains specifically for loading goods were also affected as shared by the @fatturachmanrachman account.

"Only in Priok do you think of it, traffic jams, trains that don't work," he wrote in the video on TikTok quoted Friday, April 18.
