"Article 103 regulates that waste should be disposed of in the proper place and not illegally," he explained.

Hopefully, it could give them as detterent effect in a bid to prevent the same case.

"We'll impose sanctions on the private company that owns this truck. Hopefully, this illegal TPS activity can be stopped immediately," he added.

North Jakarta Economy and Development Assistant, Wawan Budi Rohman added the supervision involved joint personnel of Satpol PP, Transportation Sub-agency, LH Sub-agency, and army/police.

"There are around 30 joint personnel involved. There are rules that must be obeyed for mutual comfort," he stated.
