After we do final verification, we decided that 748 households are not worthy to be included in row village program

Head of East Jakarta Administration City Facilities and Infrastructures Division, Tonny Sianipar, admitted that those 748 households are crossed out after the verification process.

“After we do final verification, we decided that 748 households are not worthy to be included in row village program. They are crossed out because the program must pay attention to road trace, river trace, and public green perfection (PHU),” he stated, Wednesday (9/3).
