        "content": "<p>Jakarta (ANTARA) - The Jakarta West City Government demolished\nresidents\u2019 homes in the RT 02 RW 07 area of Kamal, Kalideres, on Monday,\nas the site will be converted into a new public cemetery for local\nresidents. Meanwhile, the affected residents have been relocated to\nseveral high-rise flats (rusun) in Jakarta. The demolition was carried\nout using a heavy excavator and combined personnel. At the site,\nbuilding walls collapsed one by one as the heavy machinery razed them.\nRemnants from previous evictions remained, including asbestos, wooden\ndebris, and plywood. Household items from the relocated residents were\nstill stored in certain corners. The owners stood guard near their\nbelongings while watching the settlements they had inhabited for years\nbeing completely demolished. Tears flowed as the remaining building\nwalls crumbled under the heavy equipment. \u201cThere are currently still 11\nhouseholds; of course, I will seek guidance from the leadership. I will\nwork according to instructions. Since SP1, SP2, and SP3 are already in\nplace, if there is an instruction from the mayor, we will take action to\nvacate,\u201d said Kamal Ward Head Edy Sukarya on Wednesday (1\/4). His side\nalso assured that the ward remains open to residents who change their\nminds and agree to join the relocation programme to high-rise flats\n(rusun). \u201cFrom now on, we are giving them time first. Those who have\nmoved independently or are still occupying the land, \u2018Oh, I want to\nrelocate to a rusun\u2019, we still give them the opportunity, it\u2019s still\npossible,\u201d said Edy. To support the humane land clearance, Public\nFacilities and Infrastructure Handling Officers (PPSU) along with\ntransport fleets were on standby for 24 hours to assist residents with\nindependent relocation. Edy also mentioned that many residents have\nstarted dismantling their own homes to salvage usable building materials\nlike wood that can still be sold.<\/p>",
