        "summary": "Twenty-five streetlights on Jalan Teuku Nyak Arief in Kebayoran Lama, South Jakarta, have been vandalised, leaving the road in darkness. The South Jakarta Bina Marga Agency suspects the perpetrators climbed nearby trees to steal the cables. Authorities are coordinating with the forestry agency and Transjakarta to prune the trees, while urging the public to report any damage to public facilities.",
        "content": "<p>Vandals are believed to have exploited trees to damage 25 public\nstreet lighting (PJU) lamps on Jalan Teuku Nyak Arief, Kebayoran Lama\ndistrict. The finding was based on an investigation by the South Jakarta\nBina Marga Agency. \u201cThe perpetrators of the theft are also suspected of\nusing the trees to steal the cables,\u201d said Head of the South Jakarta\nBina Marga Agency, Rifki Rismal, on Wednesday (10\/6\/2026). Rifki stated\nthat the vandalism on Sunday (7\/6\/2026) night caused 25 streetlight\npoles to go out and fail to function normally, resulting in a dark\nroadway. The vandalism was allegedly committed by individuals who\nutilised surrounding trees to steal the cables. In its response, the\nSouth Jakarta Bina Marga Agency is coordinating with the South Jakarta\nCity Forestry Agency and PT Transjakarta. The treatment of the trees\naround the site will only involve canopy trimming or light pruning, not\nfelling. \u201cThat is correct, coordination with the Forestry Agency and\nTransjakarta. They will not be cut down, they only need canopy\ntrimming,\u201d said Rifki. The South Jakarta City Government has urged the\npublic to help maintain public facilities and avoid acts of vandalism\nthat can harm the wider community. Residents are also asked to play an\nactive role in reporting any damage to public facilities in their\nsurrounding environment. The issue went viral on the Instagram account\nof community volunteer <span class=\"citation\" data-cites=\"ijoeel\">@ijoeel<\/span>, which posted a video showing Jalan\nTeuku Arief in Kebayoran Lama in complete darkness after the\nstreetlights were damaged by vandalism.<\/p>",
