Inp.polri.go.id - Jakarta. Minister of Home Affairs Tito Karnavian on Wednesday (10/12/2025) inspected the Terra Drone shop-house in Central Jakarta, where a fire killed 22 people, to assess compliance with building safety and fire-prevention procedures. 

“We all mourn the loss of 22 lives in this incident,” he said after the onsite briefing, as reported by antaranews.com

The minister stressed that every building must secure a Building Approval (PBG) and a Certificate of Proper Function (SLF), which includes mandatory fire-mitigation standards such as evacuation routes and sprinklers. He noted that the SLF process typically involves the local fire department to verify safety measures.

Minister Tito said the police and the Home Affairs Ministry are now reviewing the administrative process that allowed the building to operate. He emphasized that similar incidents must be prevented, especially given Jakarta’s dense concentration of multi-storey structures. He will hold a nationwide virtual meeting with regional leaders and fire department chiefs to tighten oversight.
