T
he city administration has announced plans to move the offices of several agencies and city-owned companies to an area in Tanah Abang, Central Jakarta, to address problems in the district that is home to Southeast Asia’s biggest textile market.
The building is to be used by the Jakarta Transportation Agency, the Public Order Agency (Satpol PP), city-owned developer PD Sarana Jaya and city-owned market operator PD Pasar Jaya.
The city also plans to invite commuter line operator PT Kereta Commuter Indonesia (KCI) to join the project for the new office building in Jatibaru, Tanah Abang.
“Should there be any problems that require the attention of all parties, the integration allows us to sit together and discuss it,” Jakarta Transportation Agency acting head Sigit Widjatmoko said on Wednesday, wartakota.tribunnews.com reported.
The integrated office building, Sigit added, would be developed on a plot of land belonging to railway company PT Kereta Api Indonesia (KAI).
“The idea is to manage the Tanah Abang area comprehensively,” he said.
The crowded market district has long been notorious for complex problems.
Tanah Abang already houses one integrated office complex of several city agencies in Jatibaru. (vla)
