Illegal migrant raid set for Senen

JAKARTA: The Central Jakarta administration is set to launch an
ID card raid on residents in the densely populated Kramat and
Paseban subdistricts, Senen, later this month, an official has
said.

Head of the mayoralty's Population and Civil Registration
unit, Valentino HS, said the crackdown on Kramat subdistrict
would be held on July 17, while the operation in Paseban would be
held on July 24.

"Our target is to nab all of the illegal residents. Based on
figures from such operations in previous years, the number of
offenders of the residential law in Central Jakarta is the
lowest," he was quoted by beritajakarta.com as saying on Tuesday.

He encouraged residents who had yet to obtain Jakarta identity
cards to arrange for them at the nearest subdistrict office.

Even if one was obtained but someone has a Jakarta identity
card with an address in a different subdistrict of the city, that
person has to immediately report their existence to the
neighborhood unit chief. --JP
