Ciracas Sub-district, East Jakarta, gave punishment in the form of a sash and red plaque to the urban village head whose area had the highest number of dengue hemorrhagic fever (DBD) cases, Monday (5/27). The sash is given in the sub-district office yard.

We also give punishment to urban village and sub-district health centers

Ciracas Sub-district Head, Yus Wil Rasyid said the punishment was given as motivation to urban village head officials to reduce the rate of spread and increase of dengue fever in their area. The sash was given in the sub-district office yard.

"Besides implementing PSN 3M Plus, we also give punishment to urban village and sub-district health centers with the highest case of dengue fever level in the sub-district," he expressed.

According to him, a red sash and plaque were given to Kelapa Dua Wetan Urban Village Acting Head, Akhmad Bakri, whose dengue fever rate reached 61 cases from January until now.

His party also gave a green plaque to Cibubur Urban Village Economic and Development Section Head, Heru Kristianto, who was deemed successful in suppressing dengue cases in his area.

"Only one case was detected in Cibubur, which is why it was given a green plaque. It must be maintained," he stressed.

Cibubur Urban Village Economic and Development Section Head, Heru Kristianto uttered that every week his party routinely holds cleanup action with different locations. It was held together with the community, thus the environment remains clean and healthy.

Residents also routinely hold mosquito nest eradication (PSN) twice a week involving elements of the Community Health Center.

"That way, people will get used to clean and healthy living behavior," he stated.
