        "summary": "A member of the Jakarta Regional House of Representatives (DPRD) has criticised the slow response in tackling illegal waste disposal sites in Penjaringan, North Jakarta. The legislator is calling for stricter enforcement and cooperation with the police to prevent unauthorised waste dumping on land intended for public parks.",
        "content": "<p>The Vice Chairman of Commission C of the Jakarta DPRD, Tri Waluyo,\nhas highlighted that the handling of illegal waste disposal sites (TPS)\nadjacent to the Penjaringan Urban Forest Park in North Jakarta remains\nunresolved, despite previous enforcement efforts. He stated that action\nagainst waste issues must be carried out decisively, particularly\nregarding illegal sites in the Penjaringan area.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe government must be firm in managing waste here,\u201d Tri said when\ncontacted on Monday (18\/5\/2026). \u201cThe Penjaringan site is land owned by\nthe Jakarta Provincial Government, which should be designated for RPTRA\n(Child-Friendly Integrated Public Spaces) and parks,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>He urged the government to immediately take action against parties\nsuspected of involvement in illegal waste disposal activities at the\nlocation. \u201cIf there are groups or individuals providing cover or\nintentionally placing waste there, they must be dealt with immediately.\nThis should be done in cooperation with the police,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Tri assessed that the management of illegal waste sites has not been\nmaximised, despite previous instructions from the Governor of Jakarta,\nPramono Anung. He noted that the Governor\u2019s instructions should have\nbeen followed up promptly to ensure a swift resolution. \u201cOnce\ninstructions are received from the Governor, they should be implemented\nas quickly as possible. It is questionable why the Environmental Agency\n(Dinas LH) has been so slow,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Observations at the site on Friday (15\/5\/2026) revealed that\nsemi-permanent stalls accumulating waste were still lined up along Jalan\nKepanduan II, Pejagalan, Penjaringan. Piles of black plastic waste,\nwhite sacks, and wood debris were visible at several stalls. A pungent\nstench from the waste was also noticeable when passing the row of\nstalls. While some stalls were tightly covered with tarpaulins, others\nwere wide open, making the piles of waste clearly visible from the\noutside.<\/p>",
