JAKARTA - In addition to the unilateral closure and refreshment of landfills (TPS), thugs who carried out the closure also threatened the garbage withdrawal officers from RW 13 Pondok Kopi Village, Duren Sawit, East Jakarta.

"They threaten. Those who are threatened by the gentlemen who throw this garbage. 'Starting on that date you can't throw garbage here anymore', it's threatening. They also threaten the residents, that's what we don't want," said Siswo Harsono, a resident of RW 13, Pondok Kelapa Village, Duren Sawit.

Due to the refreshment and closure of the TPS, local residents experienced obstacles in the process of dismantling garbage from residents' neighborhoods.

"The first loss, initially the officer (gar waste) was intimidated, was about to strike because he was threatened, he was afraid. There were even writings that were prohibited from entering this area, instead they were fenced off. Continue to be threatened, don't throw it away starting July 1," he said.

The TPS problem is already under study at the East Jakarta City Government level. In fact, all residents of RW 13, Pondok Kopi Village, have also made a petition against closing the TPS.

"Residents have made a petition for rejection sent to mayors, governors and related officials to reject the closure of the TPS," he said.

Regarding the closure by unilateral refreshment, all residents of RW 13 were furious.

"Residents are angry. This TPS has been around for more than 30 years, so far residents have been disposing of garbage here. Residents demand that it not be limited to littering here. Don't fence it. So it must be normal to keep the functions normal, it must remain normal. It must not be disturbed, there should be no intimidation," he explained.

Previously, it was reported that hundreds of residents of RW 13 Pondok Kelapa Village held a demonstration against the closure of the Waste Disposal Site (TPS) located on Jalan Marine Barat, Duren Sawit District, East Jakarta, Saturday, July 12, morning.

In the action, residents unfurled a 2 meter long banner that reads the rejection of closing the TPS at that location.
