This land control is a strategic step to respond to the increasing infrastructure needs in the area. The construction of Rangkasbitung Station is considered a vital project that will have a positive impact in improving transportation connectivity and supporting economic growth in Lebak.

Previously, the land control process was carried out collaboratively between the Jakarta Class I Railway Engineering Center, the local government and residents. BTP Jakarta and the local government have held an open dialogue with local residents to explain the purpose of this land control and provide an understanding of the long-term benefits that will be felt by the local community with the revitalization of Rangkasbitung Ultimate Station later.

The handling of the delivery of spiritual costs was initiated to ensure that affected residents received fair compensation and in accordance with applicable regulations.

Before reaching this stage, we have gone through several stages in accordance with the provisions of Presidential Decree Number 62 of 2018 and technical instructions of ATR Ministerial Regulation Number 6 of 2020. Starting from the planning stage, the data collection stage, the assessment stage, and currently we are in the stage of providing compensation to the 22 residents who affected." Said Lukman Al-Amin
