Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung held a limited meeting at the Kramat Jati Sub-district Office, East Jakarta, on Friday (11/13), outlining measures to address five local issues. These include the relocation of vegetable vendors, flood mitigation, the construction of healthcare facilities, and action against buildings occupying government-owned land.

Pramono said the improvement of the Kramat Jati area was one of the priorities. He called on all vegetable vendors who had yet to be relocated to move promptly to the sites provided by the Jakarta Provincial Government.

He stressed that the relocation process must be carried out humanely through open dialogue with the vendors. However, he made clear that all vendors were required to relocate as part of efforts to improve the Kramat Jati area.

"This issue has been going on for more than 60 years, and the same problems keep recurring. I have asked that this relocation be handled in a truly humane way, with ample room for open dialogue. However, the decision is clear: all vendors must move to the designated area so that Kramat Jati can be better organized," Pramono said.

To address flooding, Pramono instructed the Jakarta Water Resources Agency to immediately dredge sediment beneath the Jagorawi Toll Road at Kilometer 3. The work will be coordinated with Jasa Marga, which manages the facility, and is targeted for completion before the rainy season begins.

In the healthcare sector, the Jakarta Provincial Government has approved the construction of an auxiliary health center (pustu) in Cawang. Funding will be proposed in the 2027 budget, with construction targeted to begin in 2028.

"As I have repeatedly emphasized, the Jakarta Provincial Government must take a serious and committed approach to improving healthcare, education, and social protection in the city," he stressed.

Another issue concerns seven unauthorized permanent buildings occupying land owned by the Jakarta Youth and Sports Agency. The provincial government will issue the first, second, and third warning letters. If the warnings are ignored, enforcement action will follow.

Pramono also called for the acceleration of land acquisition for the Ciliwung River normalization project in the Cililitan and Cawang sections. The Jakarta Provincial Government will coordinate with the Ministry of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning/National Land Agency (ATR/BPN) to expedite the land acquisition process and issuance of the location determination (penlok).

"Once again, I believe many issues can be resolved directly through discussions at the sub-district level and followed up on accordingly," Pramono said.
