"This effort represents the government's rapid response to managing city facilities and infrastructure. We want to ensure the environment remains safe, tidy, orderly, and comfortable for the community," he said, Wednesday (4/29).

Iyan explained that the SIGAP Team would act quickly to address various issues in the field. This included clearing out the messy utility cables by the Yellow Troops.

"There was also the removal of potentially dangerous trees by the Green Troop. Then, the Blue Army repaired water channels that were not functioning optimally," he added.

According to him, cross-agency collaboration is key to ensuring effective and targeted handling.

He continued that similar activities will be carried out periodically in various areas of North Jakarta to anticipate potential environmental disturbances.

Head of the City Utilities Infrastructure and Facilities and Public Street Lighting Section of the North Jakarta Public Works Sub-agency, Untung Pitoyo, added that the SIGAP Team had started working since yesterday afternoon.

One of the measures taken was in the Uler Mambo Market area by tidying up the tangled cables along a length of around 100 meters using a ladder truck.

"Before any complaints were received, we acted quickly to ensure a neat and orderly environment. However, we still need community participation to report any issues in the neighborhood," he stated.
