Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung has instructed the South Jakarta Mayor and relevant agencies to immediately repair Jalan Langgar II in Pejaten Timur, Pasar Minggu, South Jakarta, following a landslide.
I have asked for immediate action
He called for a permanent solution, including the construction of a retaining wall to prevent further landslides at the site.
"I have asked for immediate action. This site cannot be repaired using conventional methods; it needs a retaining wall. The Public Works Agency will coordinate with its South Jakarta Sub-agency to handle the work, and I have instructed the mayor to follow up immediately," Pramono said at Jakarta City Hall on Wednesday (11/11).
According to reports he had received, this was not the first landslide to occur in the area. Pramono said the recurring incidents were influenced by increasingly heavy rainfall, partly resulting from the Weather Modification Operations (OMC).
The Jakarta Provincial Government has been conducting OMC to lower high air temperatures and improve air quality.
"Two days ago, I also said that we would conduct weather modification operations. Some of the heavy rainfall is indeed associated with the operations. You can clearly see how intense the rain has been in several areas," he explained.
