"There are 12 damaged panels that we repair on Bundaran JPO, then 40 panels on GBK JPO, and 10 panels on Polda JPO," he said, Wednesday (11/13).

He explained, those floor panels are repaired by the vendor because it is still in the maintenance period.

"It is targeted to finish in two days. Tonight, we are still repairing the east side of GBK JPO," he mentioned.
