He made these remarks following a\nwaste landslide that claimed several lives.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKnowing the rainfall was heavy, why did they continue working?\u201d\nPramono said in a video uploaded to his TikTok account <span class=\"citation\" data-cites=\"Pramono\">@Pramono<\/span> Anung.<\/p>\n<p>The PDI Perjuangan cadre visited the Bantargebang TPST in Bekasi,\nWest Java, on Monday, 9 March 2026, one day after the landslide disaster\noccurred in zone 4A at 14:30 WIB. Heavy rainfall caused water to\ninfiltrate the waste mounds at Bantargebang, triggering the\ncollapse.<\/p>\n<p>Separately, Pramono stated that the Jakarta Provincial Government\nwould strengthen its waste sorting system. This measure was necessary to\nprevent all waste from Jakarta being sent to the Bantargebang TPST.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur waste volume ranges from 7,400 to 8,000 tonnes per day. The vast\nmajority is not sorted before being sent to Bantargebang,\u201d Pramono told\njournalists at Jakarta City Hall.<\/p>\n<p>Pramono said the Jakarta Provincial Government was preparing two\ntemporary disposal sites to accommodate waste from Jakarta. The two\nadditional zones were being set up temporarily whilst awaiting\nrestoration of the landslide area in zone 4A.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the Jakarta Basarnas recorded 13 people as victims of the\nwaste mountain landslide that occurred on Sunday, 8 March 2026.
