Residents of Lenteng Agung, South Jakarta, protested against the crackdown and demolition carried out by the Army through the Army Center for Military Intelligence (Pusziad) on Monday, April 6, 2026.
The Head of the TNI AD Information Service (Kadispenad) Brigadier General Donny Pramono emphasized that the activity was not a clash or land dispute, but rather an order for TNI AD assets that were used in accordance with their provisions. The order and demolition were carried out on 15 units of ex-Zikon 15 official residences in the Lenteng Agung area.
"The land that has been disciplined is part of the assets of the Denzijihandak/SDS Pusziad Unit with an area of 44,841 square meters which has a Use Right Certificate Number 00184 in 2016. The area of the former Zikon 15 which is the location of the discipline has an area of around 15,250 square meters," he said, Tuesday, April 7, 2026.
Donny explained that the area was used as a staff house for active soldiers. However, as the unit developed from Kizijihandak to Denzijihandak, the need for personnel and supporting facilities, including staff houses, increased.
"The official residence at the location is a State House of Group II, which is intended for active soldiers. According to the provisions, residents are obliged to return the house to the unit if they have retired, transferred duties, or no longer have the right to occupy it," he said.
Before the crackdown was carried out, said Donny, Pusziad had taken persuasive and administrative steps. Socialization was carried out from July to August 2024 by involving RT, RW, sub-district, sub-district, National Land Agency (BPN), and residents.
In addition, three warning letters have been sent, each on October 16, 2024, December 30, 2024, and August 5, 2025.
"The crackdown carried out today only targets 15 empty houses. The electricity flow in these houses has also been cut off since January 2026," he concluded.
