Residents Of Pulogadung Complaints Their Settlements Are Full Of Extortion

JAKARTA - Residents on Jalan Metro Raya, Kayu Putih Village, Pulogadung District, East Jakarta, complained that their settlements were filled with stalls of used goods traders.

Residents have reported complaints regarding the existence of traders' stalls through the Jakarta Terkini (Jaki) application with the number JK2209160047.

Responding to this, the Head of Pulogadung Sub-district, Syafrudin Chandra, in Jakarta, said that the existence of used goods stalls in the middle of settlements could not be justified.

"Yes (suspecting public order). This has often been given a warning by the kelurahan," said Syafrudin Chandra, quoted by Antara, Friday, September 16.

Syafrudin added that he had ordered the Satpol PP ranks of Pulogadung District to visit the location and reprimand the owner of the used goods stall.

He also said that his plan was that the Kayu Putih Village would soon summon the owner of the building which is a place for collectors of used goods to find solutions.

"The person concerned (the owner of the stall) rented the place," said Syafrudin.

Previously, residents reported the existence of used goods stalls in the midst of settlements that disturbed comfort.

The complaint was reported by residents through the Jaki application. In the complaint submitted by the complainant, residents had previously submitted complaints related to the kelurahan.

"Samps piled up, slum views, floods clogging sewers, traffic jams, kebalakaran hazards, and others," wrote the complainant.

However, until now the stalls of used goods are still operating, even piles of used goods in sacks to the road and closing the road waterways.

"Still open and increasingly become waste from used goods to the streets. We ask the relevant service officers to control the stalls to cover the used goods," wrote the reporter.
