We are ready to help move the belongings of residents who live in that location to the Cipinang Besar Utara Flats

Joint personnel from Satpol PP, PPSU, and others are ready to help residents on the banks of the Cipinang River, Jalan IPN Kebon Nanas, RT 09/RW 06, Cipinang Besar Selatan Urban Village, Jatinegara, East Jakarta, who are willing to be relocated to Cipinang Besar Utara Flats.

According to Budhy Novian, Head of East Jakarta Satpol PP, there are currently around 59 semi-permanent buildings consisting of 50 rented houses and nine kiosks standing on the banks of the Cipinang River. Residents who occupy semi-permanent buildings on the banks of this river would be relocated to Cipinang Besar Utara Flats. As for those who have a business, they would be relocated to the Makasar Embryo Market.

"We are ready to help move the belongings of residents who live in that location to the Cipinang Besar Utara Flats," he expressed.

He explained the building owners on the riverbank would be relocated because the land they live on will be used for widening the Cipinang River.

"This river widening is carried out, as there is a Ciliwung River crossing channel outlet. The channel was planned to be connected with the East Flood Canal (KBT) through Cipinang River," he explained, Tuesday (1/10).

Prior to relocation, his party would intensify socialization by sending warning letters to the building owners. It involved 85 joint personnel of Satpol PP, army/police, urban village and sub-district apparatuses, as well as other elements.

"The letter will be sent tomorrow. If it is ignored, we will relocate them by force," he asserted.
