Jadi Tempat Nyabu Dan Sarang Thugs, DPRD Sebut Akibat Pasar Jaya Terlantarkan Blok G Tanah Abang

JAKARTA - Chairman of Commission B of the DKI Jakarta DPRD Ismail highlighted the case of a number of stalls in Blok G Tanah Abang Market which is said to be a hotbed of thugs and a place to consume methamphetamine. Ismail views, this is the aftermath of the unsolvableness of the sale and purchase location in Block G because it was abandoned by Perumda Pasar Jaya. This is also what caused traders to leave Blok G so that it was exploited by thugs for negative things. "There is a recent phenomenon, (Blok G) used for places of methamphetamine and so on, it may be because they are the perpetrators of the situation that was created currently conducive for them to carry out such activities, due to complaints (traders) that Pasar Jaya had not been responded quickly," said Ismail to reporters, Friday, July 7. So, in the near future, Ismail said that Commission B would summon this BUMD market manager belonging to the DKI Provincial Government in a working meeting. Commission B would ask for an explanation of Pasar Jaya regarding market neglect and complaints of traders who had also been reported to the DPRD. "I think it is time for the Pasar Jaya directors to be called to confirm the phenomenon and immediately formulate steps for improvement. It is possible that in the work meeting schedule we will be called to discuss this problem," he explained. Acting (Pj) DKI Jakarta Governor Heru Budi Hartono has responded to the case of Blok G, which was used as a nest for this thugger. However, Heru views this has become a criminal realm and becomes the authority of the police to investigate it. "Later together with the Mayor, Polres (Jakpus), was ordered to check. If it concerns crime, yes police," said Heru. As is known, Tanah Abang Blo G Market, Central Jakarta, is increasingly neglected and escaped from the supervision of the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government. The market function of Block G as a place for buying and clothing under the a shelter of Perumda Pas Jaya, now remains a memory. The market area has now changed its function to a gathering place for thugs, pickpockets, pickpockets and drug users to places (Miras).

"In the afternoon and evening on the 2nd and 3rd floors, there are many criminals, such as thugs, robbery and even taking drugs there," said DT to reporters at the Tanah Abang market Blok G, Central Jakarta, Thursday, July 6. DT said the presence of thugs and drug users at that location was very disturbing. It is hoped that the police and the market can take action against thugs and drug users at that location.
