Workers' protests in Indonesia halted metro and transportation

Mass riots and demonstrations began in Jakarta, the capital of Indonesia, on August 28th. Thousands of workers who took to the streets demanding improved working conditions and wages had a serious impact on the city's infrastructure.

According to official reports, the protesters' demands were aimed at increasing wages, improving working conditions, and reorganizing the parliament. During these protests, some metro stations were burned, toll road terminals were destroyed, and important government-owned infrastructure elements were damaged.

On August 30, public transport in Jakarta was partially suspended. Due to the impact on traffic, the daily movement of the population has become difficult. Currently, special measures are being taken to restore damage and restore normal movement. Military equipment and additional personnel were deployed to ensure order on the city streets.

Police and law enforcement agencies were forced to use tear gas several times while controlling the protesters. It is noted that these measures are necessary to restore order and ensure the safety of the population.

It was reported that the emergence of demonstrations was related to the issue of meeting the socio-economic demands of workers. Investigative and supervisory bodies are conducting various investigations into the unrest to prevent a recurrence of the events in the future.
