ozens of residents of the Jakarta Military District Command (Kodam) Jaya housing complex in Tanah Kusir, South Jakarta, burned tires on Jl. Arteri Pondok Indah on Wednesday morning to protest a planned eviction of residents by military officers.
The protest, which started at 5.50 a.m., caused traffic congestion around Pondok Indah Mall, Kebayoran, South Jakarta.
According to @TMCPoldaMetro, Jl. Pondok Indah to Permata Hijau was also blocked by the residents.
The street was opened and the traffic went back to normal at around 9 a.m.
“[Tanah Kusir housing complex] is not a military housing complex… there’s no signpost mentioning this as a Kodam or Kostrad housing complex. [The housing] belongs to the residents,” on of the resident told kompas.com, referring to the Jakarta Military Command (Kodam) and the Army Strategic Reserves Command (Kostrad).
On the other hand, the Indonesian Military (TNI) considered some of the houses to belong to the TNI. (cal)
