Jakarta Legislative Council (DPRD) Comission D Chairwoman, Ida Mahmudah has said that the mass cleanup action entitled 'Bakti Kita untuk Jakarta (Our Service for Jakarta) had many benefits.

I welcome this mass cleanup action

He appreciated the Jakarta Acting Governor, Heru Budi Hartono's initiative to hold mass cleanup action participated by the State Civil Apparatus (ASN) and all levels under the Jakarta Provincial Government together with cross-sector agencies and residents.

"I welcome this mass cleanup action. Moreover, we're now facing the rainy season. So, it must be ensured that all channels are clean from garbage," she expressed, Tuesday (11/21).

She hoped that it could be a routine agenda once a week. By so, it would trigger residents to clean up their neighborhoods by not littering, especially in the micro and macro channels.

"Anticipatory steps to prevent flooding need to be taken together. Not only the SDA Dept. with its main duties, but also the community," she explained.

With this action, it would minimize flooding and also make Jakarta cleaner, neater, and more beautiful.

"This is also important for our health," she explained.

She added it could also further cultivate the spirit of mutual cooperation, which is usually starting to fade in metropolitan cities.

"And this is very good, as it can strengthen the relationship between executives, the legislatives, regional leadership forums and residents, RT/RW administrators and residents, as well as between residents themselves, thus they get to know each other better and get along better. Very positive," she asserted.
