AKARTA: The Civil Registration Agency predicts that the capital will see fewer new arrivals to the city after the Idul Fitri holiday than in past years.
“We have been seeing a decreasing number of newcomers each year over the past four years. We are expecting to see fewer than 60,000 newcomers this year,” agency head Purba Hutapea said.
The agency’s data show there were 109,617 newcomers in 2007, 88,473 in 2008, 69,554 in 2009 and 60,000 last year.
To further suppress the number, the city government is expected to hold a post-holiday crackdown on undocumented migrants to the city.
