Head of the DKI Jakarta Maritime and Agricultural Food Security Service (KPKP) Suharini Eliawati said that her party carried out market operations after the closure of the Slaughterhouse (RPH) in East Jakarta (Jaktim).

"We have carried out market operations to balance supply. We are collaborating with Dharma Jaya and the relevant BUMD," said Suharini as quoted by ANTARA, Friday, June 30.

This was done by the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government (Pemprov) so that people still get meat supply after the RPH, which was forcibly closed by several certain community groups.

Elia regretted the forced closure of the RPH by residents. According to him, the RPH is not allowed to close because it can affect the supply of people's meat.

He also regretted the intimidation carried out by the mass organizations which led to the mistreatment of meat cutting business owners.

"For intimidation is a different thing, we will make sure to go through the law," he said.

With this action, he hopes that the split between community groups and meat traders at the RPH can subside so that trade activities can return to normal.

Head of the Animal Health and Livestock Service Center of the DKI Jakarta KPKP Service, Renova Ida Siahaan, explained that the mass organization claimed to be from the Retail Chicken Trade Community, but when the community was formed was unknown.

The DKI KPKP Office deeply regrets the actions of this mass organization because it hinders public services, harms traders' businesses there and disrupts the availability of chickens.

"We have entered the report, yes, it must be brought under control like this. So this is being handled so that the atmosphere is cool," said Renova.

The provincial government has also coordinated with related parties to secure the RPH.

"We have coordinated with various parties, mayors and the East Jakarta Police (East Jakarta) for security assistance," he said.

In addition, his party is also coordinating with the National Police Food Task Force (Satgas) and the National Food Agency (Bapanas) to help oversee the supply of live chickens to the Unggas Slaughterhouse (RPHU).
