He confirmed he has received multiple reports of fire hydrants being stripped of their parts in several parks and public buildings across Jakarta. In response, he has issued a direct order to Satpol PP and the Fire Department to heighten security and surveillance.

"I have officially instructed Satpol PP and related units, especially the Fire and Rescue Agency, to keep a close watch on these facilities. They must be constantly monitored and guarded," he asserted.

With the team, he has moved swiftly to repair the damage caused by the thefts, ensuring that any flooding or water wastage has been fully resolved.

"We did have an incident yesterday where water started overflowing, but fortunately, our team managed to shut it down immediately," he concluded.
