        "summary": "Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung has addressed the ongoing problem of tangled dangling cables in the city, following the collapse of a utility pole overloaded with optical cables in Mangga Besar last weekend, which disrupted traffic but caused no injuries. He emphasised that relocating the cables underground cannot be achieved instantly and requires a measured approach with a clear roadmap, backed by recently enacted provincial regulations. The Jakarta administration is now prioritising the project to enhance urban safety and tidiness.",
        "content": "<p>The issue of tangled dangling cables in Jakarta has resurfaced after\na utility pole supporting numerous optical cables collapsed in Mangga\nBesar, West Jakarta, last weekend. In response, Jakarta Governor Pramono\nAnung has been candid about the process of organising the utility cables\ndangling at various points in the capital. According to Pramono,\norganising all the dangling cables across the capital of the Republic of\nIndonesia cannot be resolved instantly or with a mere \u2018abracadabra\u2019. He\nexplained that this reorganisation of utilities requires time and\nmeasured stages to ensure that moving the cable networks underground\nproceeds optimally and safely for the public. \u201cBut this requires time;\nit can\u2019t be done with a snap, and everything will be finished,\u201d Pramono\nstated at Jakarta City Hall in Central Jakarta on Monday (13\/4). Pramono\nasked the public to understand the transition process, while assuring\nthat the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government has prepared a measured\nroadmap to complete it. \u201cHowever, the DKI Jakarta Government already has\na programme for that,\u201d Pramono said. Pramono confirmed that the\nregulations governing the organisation of utility networks now have a\nstrong legal basis, namely a regional regulation (Perda) that was\napproved by the DKI DPRD and signed last year. \u201cSo, for SJUT (Integrated\nUtility Network Facilities) for the cable facilities that we\u2019ve included\nin this, the Perda has already been signed by me,\u201d he explained. The\nnext step is to prepare technical regulations, including through a\nGovernor\u2019s Regulation (Pergub). Following the enactment of these\nregulations, the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government will promptly execute\nthe plan to relocate overhead utilities that often endanger the public.\nPramono assured that his entire apparatus is now fully focused on the\ncable project to make the city layout safer and neater. \u201cAnd now we will\nstart focusing and concentrating on putting the cables underground,\u201d he\nsaid. Previously, a pole on Mangga Besar Street in Taman Sari, West\nJakarta, collapsed, suspected to be unable to bear the load of piled-up\noptical cables due to its corroded condition, on Sunday (12\/4). \u201cThe\noptical cable pole was already corroded because of the piled-up cable\nload,\u201d said the Head of the Data and Information Centre (Kapusdatin) of\nthe DKI Jakarta BPBD, Mohamad Yohan, in his statement last Sunday, as\nquoted from detik.com. The incident occurred at 15:48 WIB. Officers\nrushed to the scene and handled the situation. Optical cables from the\ncollapsed pole were seen dangling and touching the roof of a passing\nbus. As a result, traffic flow at the location was disrupted. The\nelectricity pole was fully handled by 19:36 WIB. Yohan emphasised that\nthere were no casualties in the incident.<\/p>",
