Qurban Committee Should Monitor SanitationDjarot continued, with this facility, public health will also improve. People do not throw garbage haphazardly thus the environment becomes cleaner.
"It is also one of the key to guarantee public health, because some wells and water in Jakarta are already contaminated with ecoli bacteria," he disclosed.
