Stone wars on Jalan Pramuka
Stone wars on Jalan Pramuka
From Kompas
Every morning for the past two weeks, school children have
gathered around the guard booth at the Pramuka railroad crossing
in East Jakarta to await other students perched on the roof of
the northbound speeding train between 6:00 a.m. and 6:45 a.m.
Both groups pelt each other with pebbles and stones.
There has been no effort to stop the stone wars. Will steps be
taken only after victims fall? Which authority is in charge of
protecting road users, train passengers and the inhabitants along
the railway?
