Newcomers must be proactive in reporting their whereabouts to local RT/RW administrators

Jakarta Governor, Djarot Saiful Hidayat asked Population and Civil Registration Dept. and all urban village and sub-district heads to communicate the importance of collecting newcomers data to RT/RW administrators.
