PT KAI tells residents about eviction plan

PT Kereta Api Indonesia (KAI) held an event on Monday to inform Tanah Tinggi residents in Tangerang city about its plan to acquire their land, which would be affected by the railway development of the Soekarno-Hatta International Airport commuter line.

Tangerang district chief Gunawan told tribunnews.com that the event was jointly held by KAI and the National Land Agency (BPN) Tangerang, and was the second attempt to persuade residents to relocate, with the first held in 2013.

One of the residents, Evan, opposed the plan because he did not have anywhere else to go if his land was acquired. “I definitely reject the plan. My family has lived on this land for generations,” he said.

Others, like Sayuti and Abdurrahman, said they had agreed to the relocation as long as the land’s price was appropriate.

Abdurrahman said he did not want to hinder the government program, which would provide easier access to the airport, and said besides the land acquisition, KAI and BPN Tangerang also had to think about the residents’ temporary housing.

Comment and my opinion :

          I think, the actions taken by PT. KAI and National Land Agency ( BPN) appropriate to the procedure and is correct. Because it has been letter some times PT. KAI and National Land Agency ( BPN) give a notification. But  PT. KAI and Government must work together to find or seek feasible housing for the people.

          If the plan PT. KAI to make the railway line towards soekarno hatta airport soon materialized this is a good and a positive because it is easier access if you want to go to soekarno hatta airport is planned to be through line manggarai.

With the presence possibility of access can reduce the congestion that occurs on the highway towards the airport, besides it is also more efficient time. But I think the new problems arise because of the presence of this pathway plan will turn off damri bus because people prefer to access by train.

therefore needs help from the government, especially PT. KAI, National Land Agency ( BPN) and the public so that all can run fast without any hindrance. for people who have to follow orders will be evicted because the common good.

thank you, may be useful for all of you who read
