In addition to ruining the road surface, the digging\nactivities also caused serious traffic disruptions, often leading to\nlong queues on several road sections. \u201cThis situation is certainly very\ndisturbing to the public, especially road users directly affected,\u201d he\nsaid. He stated that similar incidents had occurred previously and the\nrelevant parties had already been warned. However, the recurrence of\nthese violations indicates a lack of compliance with applicable\nregulations. \u201cWe have previously reminded that every digging work must\nhave official permits and consider road conditions. However, today we\nstill found the same violations; this cannot be allowed,\u201d he said. At\nthe location, Tri directly contacted the Secretary of the Bekasi City\nTransportation Department, Teguh Indrianto, to issue instructions for\non-site coordination, including halting the work and restoring traffic\nconditions. \u201cI demand immediate action, coordinate with relevant\nparties, and ensure that these disruptive activities are stopped. This\nroad is used by the wider public; it must not be damaged or disrupt\nresidents\u2019 activities,\u201d he said. The Bekasi City Government reaffirms\nits commitment to maintaining order and the quality of the city\u2019s\ninfrastructure. All parties are urged to comply with permitting\nregulations and prioritise public safety and comfort in every\ndevelopment activity. With this firm action, it is hoped that similar\nviolations will not occur again in the future, so that road conditions\nremain well-maintained and public activities can proceed smoothly\nwithout hindrance.<\/p>",
