TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Tangerang Mayor Arief R. Wismansyah requested the central government to construct a hajj preparation compound in his region, which has been hampered by land acquisition issues.


Arief expressed his concern to the National Development Planning Minister Andrinof Chaniago, Interior Minister Cahyo Kumolo and Banten Governor Rano Karno, during a discussion on 2016 Regional Development Work Plan (RKPD) for Banten Province.


Arif explained that the preparation compound in Tangerang will certainly help hajj pilgrims in the region to prepare for their religious journey without having to go back and forth from the hajj preparation compound in Pondok Gede to the Soekarno-Hatta Airport.
