JAKARTA Governor Basuki Tjahaja Purnama has opened the doors of the city to new residents.

Basuki said he lacks the authority to bar citizens from visiting the capital city. As such, he will not carry out the customary sweeps and raids of new residents that normally follow the Ramadhan holidays. He said such operations were ineffective and poorly targeted.
