Coordination regarding repairs to damaged public facilities was carried out by Governor Pramono together with the Minister of Public Works, Dody Hanggodo at the Jakarta City Hall.

In order to accelerate the repairs, the Jakarta Provincial Government will focus on improving the MRT, Transjakarta, Bank Jakarta, and several traffic lights. Meanwhile, the Ministry of Public Works will repair two pedestrian bridges that were also damaged.

"I also ask for assistance from the Ministry of Public Works for the pedestrian bridge in Senen and also in Polda to be assisted by the Central Government," he added.

Meanwhile, Minister of Public Works, Dody Hanggodo agreed to the Jakarta Provincial Government's request to repair the two damaged pedestrian bridges. Dody aims to complete the repairs in less than seven days, with the bridges fully operational.
