JAKARTA - The police intervened to investigate the cause of the fire incident at the Food and Drug Supervisory Agency (BPOM) office. So far, five workers have been examined.

"Last night, we checked the police line. We examined 5 witnesses. From the workers' side, there were workers," said the Head of Johar Baru Police, Police Commissioner Edison, to reporters, Monday, July 19.

The existence of the workers, said Edison, was because they were working on electrical panels. However, the cause of the fire is yet to be ascertained due to an electrical short circuit.

The reason is that all the information and instructions that have been obtained will be developed first.
