The city administration plans to transform the Pondok Ranggon Public Cemetery (TPU) in East Jakarta as a historical tourist site. This is because, when a riot in May'98 or called as a milestone reform, many victims were buried in such land.

The meeting discussed about sites that have history value to be maintained well

Assistant for Community Welfare, City Secretary, Fatahillah said such plan is conducted, following findings of a meeting between the city administration with Women National Commission that proposed the site to be used as a historical site.

"The meeting discussed about sites that have history value to be maintained well," he stated, at City Hall, Friday (4/29).

According to him, the city will study such plan deeply. Additionally, data recording will be done for sites that have history values.

"The government role must also be active to protect and maintain the historical sites together. One of them is located in Pondok Ranggon," he finished.
