The ceremony follows a collision on April 27 involving a commuter line train bound for Cikarang and the Argo Bromo Anggrek at Bekasi Timur Station. The incident left 16 people dead and dozens injured.

As of Monday morning, 10 victims remain hospitalized at RSUD Chasbullah Abdulmadjid in Bekasi, West Java. One patient is in critical condition and being treated in the intensive care unit after undergoing surgery for rib fractures, hospital officials said.

The remaining nine patients are under observation and showing signs of improvement after sustaining moderate to severe injuries. Some have undergone surgery and are in recovery, with several expected to be discharged soon pending further medical evaluation.

The cause of the crash remains under investigation by the National Transportation Safety Committee, which is seeking to determine contributing factors and prevent similar incidents in the future.
