He explained that they were netted at several locations across West Jakarta, including Kalideres Terminal, the flyovers of Cengkareng, Slipi, Tomang, Grogol, and Jembatan Dua, as well as the surrounding Kota Tua area.

"Those who have been reached were taken to various social shelters according to their respective categories," he stated, Thursday (4/9).

Upon arrival at the shelters, they undergo an assessment. The results serve as an analysis to provide rehabilitation and guidance based on their individual potential and abilities, including assessments for further referral programs if necessary.
