He assessed\nthat the habit of dumping waste into rivers remains a serious problem as\nit impacts environmental cleanliness and increases the risk of flooding.\n\u201cI believe government firmness is very important. As the Mayor often\nsays, city cleanliness is our shared responsibility. All OPDs must work\nhand in hand,\u201d he stated. Iskarnain requested that the DLH continue\nstrengthening waste management and processing, while the Communication\nand Information Agency (Diskominfo) should intensify education through\nvarious communication channels to raise public awareness about\nprotecting the environment. Additionally, he asked all government\nagencies to set an example in maintaining environmental cleanliness by\nmaking all Bandung city government buildings models of a clean culture\nfor the community. \u201cWe must be present as problem solvers. Make\ngovernment buildings examples of cleanliness for the public,\u201d he said.\nOn the occasion, he also reminded all civil servants to continuously\nenhance innovation and the quality of public services so that the\ngovernment\u2019s presence can provide solutions to various issues faced by\nthe community. \u201cI ask all government apparatus to increase innovation\nand provide the best service to the community,\u201d Iskarnain said.<\/p>",
