"Technically, Ancol is safer because Pantai Mutiara is designated as residential, and some residents are still objecting it," he said at City Hall, Tuesday (7/11).
According to him, the result from observation on the field is noted that venue is more proper to be built in Ancol area. This location has been agreed by Indonesia Asian Games 2018 Organizing Committee (INASGOC) also.
"In the end, according to technical assessment, we decided that Ancol is more proper," he added.
Especially for venue screen construction, he continued, will be the responsibility of Ministry of Public Work and Public Housing (PUPR) which is part of central government.
