JAKARTA - Acting Governor of DKI Jakarta Heru Budi Hartono admitted that he would follow up on President Joko Widodo's orders regarding the relocation after the fire incident at the Pertamina Plumpang Depot, North Jakarta.
However, Heru has not yet decided on the relocation mechanism that will be carried out. The former mayor of North Jakarta admitted that he would first evaluate the zoning at the location.
Heru conveyed this after accompanying Jokowi to inspect the evacuation sites of residents affected by the Pertamina Plumpang Depot fire.
"The president advised that public safety and security must be a top priority. Therefore, evaluations will be carried out to review zoning and future steps," said Heru, Sunday, March 5.
President Joko Widodo said that there must be a relocation that separates the Pertamina Plumpang Depot from residential areas in Rawabadak Selatan, North Jakarta.
Jokowi ordered Pertamina and the DKI Provincial Government to decide to relocate one of the two options between moving the Pertamina depot or residents' houses from the location of the former depot fire that spread to the settlement.
"I have ordered the Minister of SOEs and also the Governor of DKI (Heru Budi Hartono) to immediately find a solution to the incident that occurred in Plumpang. Especially because this is a dangerous zone. It can no longer be lived in, but there must be a solution," said Jokowi.
Jokowi targets the decision to relocate the Pertamina depot or residential areas in the next two days. According to Jokowi, the Pertamina Plumpang depot can be moved to a reclamation island that has not been inhabited by residents. This is because such buildings must have buffer zones such as river areas or uninhabited land that surround vital objects.
Meanwhile, if the settlements are relocated, Jokowi ordered the DKI Provincial Government to look for other areas that could become residents' residences.
"It could be that the Plumpang (depo) has been shifted to a reclamation or the population has been shifted to relocation," said the former governor of DKI Jakarta.
"This is what will be discussed later. There are options, there are options. Are the depots being shifted, are the people being shifted. If the land is shifted where it is. However, a solution must be found immediately," he continued.
