Fauzi refreshes call against migrants<\/p>\n
JAKARTA: Vice Governor Fauzi Bowo reiterated the city
\nadministration's call for people, who will celebrate Idul Fitri
\nin their hometowns, not to bring anyone to the city upon their
\nreturn here, unless the newcomers have a job and a place to stay.<\/p>\n
He said that the uncontrollable flow of migrants to the city
\nhad caused various urban problems. Last year alone, travelers who
\nreturned from the annual exodus brought with them about 250,000
\npeople, most of whom were mostly unskilled young people.<\/p>\n
Fauzi was speaking at the Monas park compound on Thursday in
\nfront of approximately 470 officers assigned to hold public
\ncampaigns for the travelers at bus terminals and train stations
\nin the capital.<\/p>\n
The officers were drawn from various agencies, including the
\npublic order agency, the social affairs agency and the
\ntransportation agency.<\/p>\n
In an effort to control the flow of migrants, the city
\nadministration is drafting a controversial bylaw to ban poor,
\nunskilled migrants from entering the capital.--JP<\/p>",
