JAKARTA - The Head of Jagakarsa Sub-district, South Jakarta, Santoso, emphasized that Jalan Setu Babakan can still be passed by residents during the child's wedding of a member of the DKI Jakarta DPRD on Saturday.

"It's not that the road is closed, yes, we appeal to residents who want to cross the route to use other alternative routes for their convenience as well," Santoso said when met at the Jagakarsa sub-district office, reported by ANTARA, Thursday, July 14.

He said the road closures were not the authority of the Jagakarsa sub-district head, but the Transportation Service which coordinated with the bride's family and other parties who had full authority.

Even so, for people who are forced to cross this route, they can still go through it. With so many invitations distributed by the family, later road users are expected to understand.

Santoso also asked related parties to jointly help smooth the flow of roads in Setu Babakan on the day of the reception so that the residents of Jagakarsa who pass through still feel comfortable.

"I also ask that if there is a traffic jam later, the Transportation Agency and Satpol PP will help to secure it so that it can be orderly," he said.

Meanwhile, Head of UPK Setu Babakan Imron Yunus stated that it was true that there was a diversion on the day of the wedding reception, next Saturday.

"The family, namely Pak Haji Purwanto, has also given an appeal by putting up a banner containing information to avoid the Setu Babakan route," Imron said by telephone, Thursday.

The children's wedding reception from members of the Gerindra faction of the DKI DPRD will be held by carrying out Betawi customs which will start from 10.00 WIB to 23.00 WIB.
