In three weeks, PTSL posts are opened in five sub-district offices, where there are 3,119 files registered by residents

Ownership certificates (SHM) for 2,100 plots of land owned by local residents in Makasar Sub-district, East Jakarta will be issued in the near future. It is executed through the Complete Systematic Land Registration (PTSL) program which costs are borne by the Jakarta City Budget (APBD).

Makasar Sub-district Head, Kamal Alatas said, PTSL program in his region has been ongoing since mid-September. There were 9,006 uncertified land plots spread across five urban villages, with details Makasar (2,910 plots), Pinang Ranti (1,098 plots), Kebon Pala (2,978 plots), Halim Perdanakusuma (475 plots), and Cipinang Melayu (1,547 plots).

Residents who own land plots could register their files to the PTSL post in five sub-district offices. The document was then handed over to the East Jakarta BPN PTSL Task Force Team whose temporary secretariat is at the Ciracas sub-district office.

"In three weeks, PTSL posts are opened in five sub-district offices, where there are 3,119 files registered by residents. After being verified, only 2,100 files can be certificates of ownership," he said, Friday (11/5).

Of 3,119 files, 1,195 were from Kebon Pala, 558 were from Makasar, 658 were from Pinang Ranti, 430 were from Cipinang Melayu, and 278 were from Halim Perdanakusuma.

He explained, as many as 1,019 files proposed could not be processed due to incompleteness. Another factor was a difference in the measurement results thus the plot owner requested for a re-measurement.

"2,100 files that have passed the verification are currently in the process of printing the certification," he furthered.

Through RT/RW and dasawisma caretakers, he added, the urban village had carried out a jemput bola service by visiting residents who did not have SHM on their land.

"Urban villages and sub-districts have tried to help complete the files for their residents' land plots. But, there are some residents who ignore follow the rules, so we can't force them either," he uttered.
