Deputy Mayor of West Jakarta, Hendra Hidayat, said that his party was discussing controlling residential areas with semi-permanent buildings under the Angke 2 Toll Road, to be precise in Jelambar Baru Village. "We are coordinating. I want to discuss this afternoon," said Hendra when met at DKI Jakarta City Hall, Monday, June 19. Initially, the West Jakarta City Government will collect data on the identity cards (KTP) of the occupants of the hut under the Angke 2 Toll Road which is owned by Jasa Raharja. "We are currently collecting data on several people with DKI ID cards and not. Of course, if for example it already exists, we will do the handling," said Hendra. Under the Angke 2 Toll Road, a number of residents live in rooms that are only limited to plywood. The height under the toll road is only about 150 centimeters. However, there is electricity used by residents for daily activities. Not many sunlight can enter this residential area. The residential area of the residents is also on the edge of the Grogol River. Member of Commission D of the DKI Jakarta DPRD, Kenneth, highlighted this condition. What Kenneth knows is that residents survive under the Angke 2 Toll Road because they have economic activity that they can run. However, Kenneth views that the place to live under the toll road is not feasible. He also asked the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government and the central government to bring order and find solutions to the residents' residences later.

"The government must be able to provide a win-win solution, create a solution program, such as for Jakarta residents who have ID cards, they must be relocated to flats and provided with business capital assistance," said Kenneth.
