As many as 200 joint personnel cleaned the sidewalk along Jalan Jatinegara Timur, Balimester, Jatinegara, East Jakarta, Friday (11/7).

One fire engine with a capacity of 10 thousand liters and two tankers were deployed to the location to carry out spraying.

Head of Jakarta Bina Marga Agency, Heru Suwondo said this activity is routinely conducted in five city administration areas. 

"This is also an education for the public so that they also care about sidewalks," he said.

Heru appealed to the public to help maintain assets built by the local government so that they look good and can continue to be comfortable to use.

"The public should also maintain the sidewalks," he added.

Head of East Jakarta Bina Marga Sub-agency, Benhard Hutajulu stated today's activity involved 200 joint personnel of Bina Marga Agency, Fire Handling and Rescue Agency, City Park and Forestry Agency, and Transportation Agency.
