Celebration of New Year's Eve at Sudirman-MH Thamrin (Diah Ayu/VOI)

JAKARTA - The 2024 New Year's Eve celebration along Jalan Jenderal Sudirman and MH Thamrin, Central Jakarta, is filled with human oceans. Not only residents of the capital city, people from various regions came in droves to crowd the central area of Jakarta. The Mudi Night held by the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government was held with a music stage at 11 points. Meanwhile, the series of events began with the ornamental car parade and hundreds of parade participants from the National Monument area to the HI Roundabout. One hour before January 1, 2024, the HI Roundabout area, which is the main point of celebrating New Year's Eve, is increasingly crowded with the public. Meanwhile, ornamental cars that drove in a parade on MH Thamrin Street to the Roundabout moved very slowly. Satpol PP officers and the Department of Transportation were forced to ask residents to open space so that the parade groups could pass. Being in the middle of the road with a human ocean makes the shortness of breath unavoidable. Fresh air is hard to feel. In fact, several people fainted and had to be taken to the Thamrin Police Post on the edge of the HI Roundabout. Not to mention a number of pickpockets ranging from cell phones to wallets. Ahead of the turn of the year, Acting Governor of DKI Jakarta Heru Budi Hartono to the Chairman of the DKI Jakarta DPRD Prasetyo Edi Marsudi welcomed and congratulated the public. At 23.50 WIB, fireworks began to light one by one. On the sky on the west side of the HI Roundabout, 500 drones were flown which were intended to form a number of pictures, ranging from Gatot Kaca, birds, flowers, and the words "Happy New Year 2024" at exactly 00.00 WIB.
