Victims Of The Gembrong Market Fire Salat On ID Under The Becakayu Toll Road

JAKARTA - Residents of RW01 Pasar Gembrong, Cipinang Besar Utara, Jatinegara, East Jakarta, who were victims of the fire, held Eid prayers under the Becakayu Toll Road.

The head of RW01 Cipinang Besar Utara Maju Saiman said residents were very enthusiastic about attending the Eid prayers even though they were in a state of mourning due to the fire accident.

"It has become our agenda every year and even though a fire accident occurs, we will continue to run it," said Maju Saiman in Jakarta, Monday, May 1, quoted from Antara.

The man who is familiarly called Yongki explained that the Eid prayer was attended by hundreds of residents who were victims of the fire on April 24, 2022.

Yongki said residents were able to carry out Eid prayers thanks to the help of worship equipment from donors.

"As the head of the RW, assisted by donors in Jakarta, we continue to distribute prayer equipment if they don't have it so they can attend Eid prayers," said Yongki.

He also expressed his gratitude to the community and donors who have helped restore Gembrong Market residents who were victims of the fire.

"Once again, I thank the local government, police, military, and the community who want the Gembrong residents to recover so that we can lead normal lives," said Yongki.
