Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung has stated that the effort to tidy up\nthe capital\u2019s messy cables will commence following the issuance of a\nregional regulation on Integrated Utility Network Facilities (SJUT).\nHowever, he acknowledged that the process of organising the overhead\ncables cannot be completed all at once due to the complexity of the\nproblem.<\/p>\n
He made these remarks in response to concerns about the many tangled\ncables and leaning poles on Jakarta\u2019s roads, which are considered\ndangerous for road users. \"With the existence of the SJUT regulation,\nthe steps to manage and organise the cables in Jakarta will begin\nimmediately. Some have even already started,\" Pramono said at Jakarta\nCity Hall on Wednesday (8\/7\/2026).<\/p>\n
Nevertheless, Pramono stressed that organising the entire utility\nnetwork requires time. He noted that the vast number of cable networks\nspread across Jakarta makes it impossible to carry out the work\nsimultaneously. \"It cannot all be done at once because the cable problem\nis so extensive and complex. However, with this regulation, the\norganisation has begun,\" he said.<\/p>\n
Pramono assured that the Jakarta Provincial Government will continue\nthe cable arrangement in stages, guided by the SJUT regulation. He\nexpressed hope that the regulation would serve as a foundation for a\nmore orderly utility network, thereby improving public safety and the\ncity\u2019s aesthetics.<\/p>\n
The issue of dangling cables has recently led to serious accidents.\nOn Thursday (18\/6), a female student from SMAN 6 Jakarta died after\nbeing caught by a dangling cable on Jalan Lauser, Kebayoran Baru, South\nJakarta. More recently, on Monday (6\/7), an online motorcycle taxi\npassenger was snagged by a dangling cable on Jalan Widya Chandra VIII,\nKebayoran Baru, South Jakarta.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/pramono-admits-jakartas-messy-cables-are-a-complex-problem-1783497676", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
