"There are several traffic engineering measures that we will implement. Road closures will be carried out from the Patung Kuda Roundabout to the Senayan Roundabout,” said Police Commissioner Robby Hefados, Head of the Operations Section (Kabag Ops) of the Metro Jaya Regional Police Traffic Directorate, as reported by Antara (28/12).
