Jakarta (ANTARA) - Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung has targeted the\nclearance of accumulated rubbish at the Waduk Pluit flats in North\nJakarta to be completed within 10 days at the latest, after the regional\ngovernment deployed personnel and heavy equipment to accelerate the\nclean-up process.<\/p>\n
Pramono said the rubbish build-up occurred due to delays in transport\nqueues from temporary disposal sites (TPS) to the Bantargebang\nIntegrated Waste Processing Facility (TPST).<\/p>\n
\u201cAs we know, at the Waduk Pluit flats, because of delays in the\nqueues from the existing TPS to Bantargebang, a build-up occurred. And I\nhave asked for it to be resolved within 8 to 10 days at the latest,\u201d\nsaid Pramono at Jakarta City Hall on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
He explained that the Jakarta Provincial Government had deployed one\nunit of heavy equipment, three rubbish transport trucks and 10 personnel\nworking on site to speed up the handling of the waste.<\/p>\n
\u201cToday, one piece of heavy equipment, three trucks and 10 personnel\nare working in the field. Over the next day or two we will add more, and\nhopefully it will be finished within 8 to 10 days,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Pramono said additional vehicles and personnel would be adjusted\naccording to needs on the ground so that the waste transport process\ncould proceed more quickly and would not disturb the activities of the\nflats\u2019 residents.<\/p>\n
Beyond short-term handling, he has asked for waste management at the\nWaduk Pluit flats to be evaluated so that similar problems do not\nrecur.<\/p>\n
According to Pramono, improvements in waste transport and management\ngovernance are needed so that cleansing services in residential areas\ncan run more effectively, particularly when queues occur for sending\nrubbish to the Bantargebang TPST.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have asked for the management of Waduk Pluit specifically to be\nreorganised with better rules and methods. So that what is happening now\n\u2014 the build-up and so on \u2014 does not happen again,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the Head of the Waste and B3 Hazardous Materials\nManagement Section of the North Jakarta Environment Sub-department,\nArdiyanto, said the clean-up is targeted for completion within 7\u201310\ndays, with an estimated 30 transport trips.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are working intensively by optimising all vehicles, heavy\nequipment and personnel in the field. The target is for the rubbish pile\nto be handled within 10 days so that the TPS condition returns to normal\nand cleansing services for residents run well,\u201d said Ardiyanto.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/jakarta-governor-targets-10-days-to-clear-waste-pile-up-at-pluit-reservoir-flats-1784123755", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
