Everything should be the responsibility of the police, Satpol PP and Dishub,” Pramono said in the City Hall on Wednesday (8/20/2025).

As is known, the density of traffic flow still takes place on Jalan TB Simatupang, South Jakarta, Tuesday (8/19) morning. The density was exacerbated by the existence of excavation projects along the way. “TB Simatupang has the excavation project, Fatmawati’s direction, from Fatmawati, there is a project, both east and west. That’s why he stopped because there are beds taking one lane,” said Kasat Lantas South Jakarta Metro Police Commissioner Mujiyanto when he was contacted on Tuesday (8/19). Mujiyanto said traffic jams also occur after a long weekend or long vacation. In addition, the rain that Jakarta has been flushing since this morning was the cause of density. “That’s right, maybe it didn’t enter yesterday, now everything is in, so the amount of vehicles is busy. Then there is rainy weather this morning. There is no (abundance),” he said. (Call/Yahs)
