Putrid garbage

Putrid garbage

From Neraca

Pungent smell continues to emanate from the back part of PD Pasar Jaya, Pasar Minggu, South Jakarta. This condition has been going on for years. Every time you pass the area a strong and penetrating smell greets you. The market management, as well as the police, seem indifferent to the situation. All kinds of waste originating from the market piles up, whereas the garbage service is incapable of disposing of the stuff.

I think many agree with me that this condition does not reflect the ideal of preserving the environment and upholding national discipline.

Therefore, I hope the governor of Jakarta immediately instructs the mayor of South Jakarta, district and village chiefs and the management of Pasar Minggu market to get rid of the putrid waste.

I suggest that each vendor collects and puts their waste into a big plastic bag to make it easier for the garbage collectors to pick it up. The vendors in the market can be divided into groups according to the block, and the group chiefs should be held responsible for the smooth operation of the refuse in their respective section. Sanctions must be taken against the chief who fails in this project.
