Bekasi - The Bekasi City Government will discuss compensation for dozens of families affected by the fire at the Bulk LPG Filling Station (SPBE) of PT Indogas Andalan Kita on Cinyosog Street, Cimuning. In the near future, the Bekasi City Government will invite representatives from the company to discuss responsibility for the incident. “The compensation process will be discussed soon. Then, on Thursday (9/4/2026), we will hold a meeting inviting the owner of the gas company,” said the Head of Mustikajaya Sub-District, Maka Nachrowi, when contacted by Kompas.com on Tuesday (7/4/2026). A total of 39 families were affected by this fire. This data will serve as the basis for discussing the compensation scheme for the victims. “It consists of 35 families from Bekasi City residents and 4 families from outside Bekasi City,” Maka said. Regarding the form and category of compensation, Maka could not yet confirm and is awaiting further discussion results. Currently, the affected residents are evacuating to relatives’ or neighbours’ homes because their residences are no longer habitable. Nevertheless, the situation at the incident site is already safe. The fatalities were Suyadi with 92 percent burns and Djaimun with 97 percent burns. Suyadi passed away on Sunday (5/4/2026), while Djaimun died on Monday (6/4/2026). Both were residents of Tambun Selatan Sub-District, Bekasi Regency, and have been buried. Meanwhile, other burn victims are still undergoing treatment at several hospitals. Some have been allowed to go home and receive outpatient care. Maka assured that the sub-district government will continue to monitor the handling of this case until the victims receive their rights, including compensation.
