T
he South Jakarta administration is stepping up monitoring of undocumented newcomers in areas across the municipality, following a double suicide bomb attack in East Jakarta on Wednesday evening.
“We will record data of newcomers in boarding and rented houses. This is to anticipate the movement of criminal suspects,” South Jakarta Mayor Tri Kurniadi said as quoted by beritajakarta.id in Jakarta on Friday.
He further said that the recording process would be conducted by local administration officials, starting from heads of district to neighborhood unit chiefs.
At the same time, Public Order Agency (Satpol PP) officers will conduct joint security operations with the police.
“Every police officer will increase their alertness level from now on,” said South Jakarta Police chief Sr. Comr. Iwan Kurniawan. (kuk/ebf)
