Fourteen demonstrations are planned in Jakarta on Thursday, adding to already increased road congestion as a result of the ongoing police crackdown on traffic violations and private motorists using the busway lanes.

The Traffic Management Center said on its Web site that rallies would occur throughout the city, from the usual almost daily protests outside the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) to a demonstration by the Alliance of Outsourcing Workers at the Jakarta International Container Terminal at Tanjung Priok in North Jakarta.

Another anticorruption rally is scheduled for outside the historical Gedung Juang 45 in Menteng, Central Jakarta.

The Indosair Workers Union were also expected to protest outside the West Jakarta District Court.

Other rallies are expected outside the Constitutional Court, State Palace, City Hall and Hotel Indonesia Traffic Circle, all in Central Jakarta.

Jakarta Police warn that traffic delays are expected and have advised drivers to take alternative routes where possible.
