Jakarta Governor Djarot Saiful Hidayat visited on Monday Kebon Pala in Jatinegara, East Jakarta, where some 260 houses were razed on Sunday night, and instructed his subordinates to prioritize continuing the education of the area's children.
"[The administration] will put the education of the children as our priority," Djarot said at City Hall on Monday as quoted by kompas.com.
Jakarta Police spokesman Sr. Comr. Argo Yuwono said data collection on the damages was still ongoing, with a forensics team investigating the cause of the fire.
Currently, police are focused on securing residents and the location to prevent looting, Argo said.
