JAKARTA (Jakarta Post): In an effort to prevent floods in Jakarta, the city administration plans to evict thousands of squatters from around the Pluit Dam next year.
"We will clear illegal housing from around the dam next year as the squatters are occupying one of Jakarta's water catchment areas," Economy Bureau development assistant Nurfakih Wirawan said Monday.
The Pluit Dam has shrunk in size significantly in recent years.
"We hope the squatters understand that the evictions are for their own good," Nurfakih said, without mentioning plans for their future resettlement.
It is estimated between 7,000 and 8,000 families live in the area.
