        "content": "<p>Residents\u2019 opposition to a crematorium on Jalan Utan Jati, Kalideres,\nWest Jakarta (Jakbar), continues. They have filed a lawsuit with the\nAdministrative Court (PTUN) regarding the crematorium project on Jalan\nUtan Jati. The suit names the Mayor of West Jakarta City, Iin\nMutmainnah, as the defendant, challenging the granting of the Building\nPermit (PBG) for the crematorium. The project has been halted after\nwidespread protests on Saturday, 21 February 2026. Residents say they\nwere never informed about the construction of a funeral home and\ncrematorium located in front of their housing area. \u2018We never received\nsocialisation or official notification. Next thing you know heavy\nequipment arrived and construction began,\u2019 said resident Budiman\nTandiono. The permit for the project is said to have been issued on 6\nFebruary 2026, but there was no visible signboard or IMB at the site.\nThe suit was filed with PTUN. Budiman Tandiono, coordinator of the Citra\nGarden 2 Residents\u2019 Group, said the suit (case no. 83\/G\/2026\/PTUN JKT)\nwas filed because residents believe the crematorium permit violated\nlocal regulations. \u2018The defendant is the Mayor of West Jakarta\nAdministrative City, namely the Head of the Investment and One-Stop\nService (PM-PTSP) of West Jakarta City,\u2019 he said, quoted by Antara,\nFriday 6 March 2026. The suit was registered with PTUN Jakarta on\nTuesday, 3 March. He stressed that the object of the suit is the\nBuilding Permit (PBG) currently held by the developer, even though there\nis no environmental permit. The legal basis cited is Regional Regulation\nNo.\u00a03 of 2007 on Burial, particularly Article 7(a), which prohibits the\nestablishment of crematorium facilities in densely populated areas.\n\u2018Yes, the suit concerns the PBG because granting the PBG and\nconstruction violate the regulations, violate the perda, which prohibits\nbuilding in densely populated areas,\u2019 Budiman said. The suit was filed\ncollectively on behalf of ward residents whose areas share borders with\nthe project. \u2018(The suit) on behalf of RW, representing residents. RW 12\nand RW 17 of Daan Mogot Kalideres Housing, then RW 12 and 17 of\nPegadungan Village (Citra Garden 2),\u2019 he said. They have also received\ncourt summons for the first hearing, scheduled for Wednesday 11 March at\nPTUN Jakarta. Residents are prepared to face representatives of the West\nJakarta City Government in court. Residents hope the judges will\nobjectively scrutinise the permit process and permanently halt the\ncrematorium project. \u2018Hopefully justice will be served and the request\nto prove that the permit was granted wrongly and construction should be\nhalted can be met,\u2019 Budiman said. Response from West Jakarta Mayor Iin\nMutmainnah: Iin regards the lawsuit as part of democracy. \u2018Part of\ndemocracy, follow the rules, part of citizens\u2019 duties, please,\u2019 she\nsaid. She respects residents\u2019 legal actions as a means to oversee\ngovernment. According to Iin, residents\u2019 recourse to the Administrative\nCourt is a form of aspiration that must align with applicable rules.\n\u2018When residents\u2019 aspiration reaches the court, please align with the\nregulations,\u2019 she added.<\/p>",
