Jakarta Governor, Pramono Anung regretted the traffic jams that hit a number of roads in Jakarta on Wednesday (9/24) evening.

According to him, the traffic jam was caused by the closure and repair of the Semanggi 1 and 2 toll gates.

"Semanggi 1 and Semanggi 2 toll gates are being repaired," said Pramono, Thursday (9/25).

According to him, the lengthy toll gate repairs were the main cause of the long queues and widespread congestion. The toll gate repairs were a result of the previous demonstrations.

Therefore, the Jakarta Provincial Government is demanding accountability from Jasa Marga, the party responsible for toll road management. Pramono emphasized the need to prevent similar incidents from recurring in the future.

Pramono added that the traffic jam problem in Jakarta is currently a serious concern for the Jakarta Provincial Government, which he will monitor directly.

"We will specifically ask Jasa Marga, who is indeed responsible for this. Don't let this happen again," he stated.
