        "content": "<p>The South Jakarta City Government will take action against the\nunauthorised demolition of sidewalks in the Pondok Indah area, along\nwith the replacement of materials from paving blocks or concrete blocks\nto lightweight bricks (hebel). \u201cI will soon follow up on this,\u201d said\nDeputy Mayor of South Jakarta, Ali Murtadho, when contacted by\nKompas.com on Tuesday (31\/3\/2026). Ali emphasised that every\ninfrastructure project must follow applicable technical standards and\ncannot be done haphazardly. He added that he will coordinate with\ntechnical regional work units (UKPD), particularly the Road\nInfrastructure Sub-Directorate, as well as the landowners involved.\nPreviously, the paving block or concrete block sidewalks on Jalan Metro\nPondok Indah, Kebayoran Lama, were replaced with hebel after being\ndemolished without permission. Kompas.com observations at the site\nshowed that the sidewalk condition appeared to have just been installed\nwith concrete blocks that were not uniform in installation direction.\nAdditionally, the size of the blocks used appeared quite large and\nthick, resembling lightweight bricks (hebel), not like standard paving\nblocks. The surface also looked flat with fairly wide joints in some\nparts. On the left side of the sidewalk, there was a corrugated iron\nfence and a long wooden beam placed on top of the sidewalk. Some blocks\nalso appeared uneven and slightly raised, giving the impression of\nimprecise installation. \u201cThe material used to replace the demolished\npaving is hebel,\u201d explained Mustofa. Although the material is different,\nthe sidewalk can still be used.<\/p>",
