Damaged railings in Jakarta<\/p>\n
From Warta Kota<\/p>\n
In some parts of Jakarta, crowded areas have been railed-off
\nin a bid to create public order, such as in Pancoran, Glodok,
\nWest Jakarta, Pasar Minggu, South Jakarta and Cawang, East
\nJakarta.<\/p>\n
Many of these steel fences, however, are now in need of
\nrepair. Bars are often damaged, some have even been cut through.
\nPeople seem to avoid using cross bridges or going roundabout
\nways. In Glodok and Pasar Minggu, for instance, the damaged bars
\nhave not been repaired by the city administration.<\/p>\n
Before blaming vandals, the location of railings, as
\ndetermined by the city, should be examined. In market places,
\nwith busy buying and selling activities, totally closed railings
\nare not appropriate.<\/p>\n
In such places, there should at least be gates in the
\nrailings. Otherwise, porters or customers carrying heavy loads
\nare forced to walk long distances behind the steel bars, before
\nthey reach the road and public transportation. The same rules do
\nnot apply to the National Monument and markets.<\/p>\n
