East Jakarta Gulkarmat Sub-agency Head Muchtar Zakaria said the number increased due to the performance agreement target from the Jakarta Fire and Rescue (Gulkarmat) Agency which was handed down to the Gulkarmat Sub-agency and sectors in each sub-district. Each sector could carry out socialization in 150 locations per three months.
"This agency head's instruction has been applied since March. That's why socialization is intensified in the region. In March, we reached 778 locations," he said, Monday (4/4).
