JAKARTA - Dozens of women living in Mount Antang, East Jakarta packaged the rest of their belongings such as mattresses, televisions, laundry machines and others under the Matraman Station DDT Railway which was right next to the demolition of the Gunung Antang localization.
The occupants, who are dominated by women, could only mourn their fate when joint officers dismantled their shop buildings and semi-permanent cafes.
"Well, let's just surrender. What can we do after, the name is also PT KAI land. We're just sad, where else should we try to earn a living," said Sri (58), a resident of Mount Antang, East Jakarta, Tuesday, August 30.
Sri said, due to today's demolition, he lost up to tens of millions of dollars in the building of his cafe. However, he resigned even though he could not be compensated.
"We are aware of ourselves, we have also been trying to make a living here for a long time. Well, maybe it's time for us to accept it, but it's quite sad to see the building being demolished," he said.
Head of Public Relations of PT KAI Daop 1 Eva Chairunisa said, of course, this is indeed an area that should be sterile.
"So we have written to the city government so that green open spaces can be made. In the future, we will also carry out integrated security together with the TNI and Polri, KAI, and the city government," Eva told VOI at the Gunung Antang localization, Tuesday, August 30.
Eva further promised that PT KAI will continue to strive so that there will be no more illegal placements that are not in accordance with the law.
