JAKARTA - The Traffic Directorate of Polda Metro Jaya will implement traffic engineering with a canalization scheme on Jalan Gatot Subroto, South Jakarta, this afternoon. The implementation of the scheme is to anticipate congestion in the aftermath of demonstrations by a number of labor elements in front of the Office of the Ministry of Manpower (Kemnaker). "We will channelize and use cone. So maybe if we go to the streets we will channel it with cone," said Traffic Director of Polda Metro Jaya Kombes Latif Usman to reporters, Thursday, September 21. However, the implementation of the canalization will be situational. This means that the implementation adjusts the situation and conditions at the location. Not to forget, the mass of the action is advised to continue to follow the rules in expressing opinions. So, the activity does not disturb other people. Because (the location of the demonstration) is a road where there is no disposal, we ask that we really want to express our opinion. And people who will pass around it can also carry out activities as usual,' said Latif.

Meanwhile, a number of labor elements will hold a demonstration in front of the Indonesian Ministry of Manpower today. There are two demands behind the action. First, regarding the increase in wages in 2024 by 15 percent. The second demand is the revocation of the omnibus law of the Job Creation Law.
