Around 680 families were evacuated overnight from their homes on Tuesday as flooding due to heavy rains hit Tangerang city and regency, even affecting railway lines and the main international airport serving Greater Jakarta.
A week after the operation began, a Navy-led team comprised of maritime personnel and fishers has dismantled just over half of a 30.16 km makeshift bamboo fence off the coast of Tangerang, amid an ongoing investigation into those responsible for the illegal structure.
The Agrarian and Spatial Planning Ministry/the National Land Agency (BPN) has confirmed that two private companies own land on the shoreline facing the “mysterious” sea fence in the coastal waters of Tangerang regency, Banten, and has promised to investigate any potential links between the companies and the illegal barrier.
Authorities are ramping up an investigation into a 30 km bamboo fence installed off the Tangerang coast, while another, similar structure has cropped up off the northern coast of Bekasi, with speculation pointing to a possible link to ongoing property or land reclamation projects in Greater Jakarta.
