JAKARTA - Acting Governor of DKI Jakarta Heru Budi Hartono stated that he supports the attitude of the Head of the RT in enforcing zoning regulations in the Muara Karang Market shopping complex or known as Ruko Niaga Pluit. This was conveyed by Heru in response to the polemic that arose after the demolition of the building which was deemed to have violated the rules on the shophouses on Pluit Karang Niaga Street, North Z-4 Block and South Z-8, RT011/003, Pluit Village, Penjaringan, North Jakarta. "I continue to support the steps of all parties, including the RT to enforce a safe and comfortable commercial area. Of course, all buildings must be in accordance with the designation and zoning that has been set by the government," Heru said in his statement, Tuesday, May 30. Heru hopes that this problem will not become a prolonged polemic between the head of the RT in Pluit named Riang Prasetya and the shophouse owners or tenants whose buildings were demolished. “ I hope all parties always maintain good communication. Prioritize the reshuffle of residents at the kelurahan level, "” said Heru. For information, the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government dismantled 20 shophouses on Pluit Karang Niaga Street, North Z-4 Block and South Z-8, RT011/003 Pluit Village, Penjaringan, North Jakarta which violated the rules for eating roads and closing waterways. Regarding the demolition or refunction of the building, the North Jakarta City Administration Cipta Karya, Spatial Planning and Land Sub-Department has issued a Technical Recommendation Letter (Rekomtek) Number e-0001/PA.01.00. This activity was carried out in order to restore the area in accordance with the function or in accordance with zoning provisions, namely waterways and roads. This is a real commitment of the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government in enforcing regulations as an effort to function zoning. This demolition was carried out after being highlighted by the head of the RT in Pluit named Riang Prasetya. Before it was dismantled, a video of the debate between Riang and one of the shophouse owners went viral on social media. Riang questioned why the shop owner could use part of the road for his business area. After the building was demolished, the shophouse owners were met by DKI Jakarta DPRD member Gani Suwondo. This meeting was questioned by Riang Prasetya. Defending Gani, he met the shop owner to listen to complaints because the demolition of the building caused business losses. Not only that, on Wednesday, May 24, a number of residents rallied in front of Riang's office. Riang admitted that he did not accept it because there was a provocative element in the demonstration. In fact, according to Riang, he was humiliated in the demonstration.
