A number of Satpol PP personnel are put on guard under Klender Flyover, Pulogadung, East Jakarta, to anticipate street vendors who had been controlled last Saturday (8/2). Based on beritajakarta.com observations, the absence of street vendrors in that location makes traffic flow runs smooth.

Maruara (24), a motorcyclist, acknowledged the same thing. “ The traffic becomes smooth after the street vendors’ stalls under Klender Flyover demolished. And rotten smell is no longer exist ,” he expressed, Monday (8/4).

According to Head of East Jakarta Satpol PP Operational Section, Agus Sadiki, the safeguard will be conducted until a week ahead. “We’ll safeguard the place for 24-hour in two shifts. As many as 20 personnel will guard in the morning and 20 others at night,” he told.

Moreover, Sadiki also asks local Parks and Public Works sub-departments to assist his personnel in securing Klender Flyover from street vendors. This is because Satpol PP cannot guard the flyover all day. “At least install fence first to prevent people from coming in. We also have to secure Kampung Melayu Flyover,” he stated.

In addition, Head of East Jakarta Satpol PP Facilities and Infrastructures Section, Palmer Manurung, said that since morning as many as 162 Satpol PP personnel secure the area under Klender Flyover. They are getting assistance from five personnel of Pulogadung Sub-District Military Command (Koramil).
