JAKARTA - Acting Governor of DKI Jakarta Heru Budi Hartono deployed around 2,000 state civil servants (ASN) and other individual service providers (PJLP) within the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government to carry out community service starting the rainy season.

In the morning rally for community service entitled "Our Child Protection for Jakarta", Heru said this activity aims to ensure that rivers, reservoirs, ponds, reservoirs as well as local channels and water ropes can function optimally.

"Today, we, the Provincial Government (Pemprov) of DKI Jakarta, expect us all to do community service and work together to clean Jakarta. The river must be clean, we will clean the clogged channels and we will transport all the garbage in front of us. All of this we do to deal with flooding," said Heru on Jalan HM Margono Djojohadikusumo, Central Jakarta, Sunday, November 19.

Heru emphasized that efforts to overcome flooding by maintaining the cleanliness of the City of Jakarta are not only the responsibility of the government. The community is also obliged to clean and maintain cleanliness in their respective environments.

"I urge all residents to take responsibility in their respective environments. We must build Jakarta together. Don't litter, and this morning we meet in the context of our service for Jakarta," he said.

Continuing, the DKI Jakarta Regional Secretary (Sekda) Joko Agus Setyono said that this activity does not merely refer to community service, but is a commitment, proof of loyalty, and a symbol of love and respect for the City of Jakarta.

"Today's activities are carried out simultaneously throughout the city of Jakarta through three scales, namely the city scale, the sub-district scale and the scale of the residents. All work together to clean the waterways, starting from the drainage in front of each house to the canal river that crosses Jakarta," explained Joko.

In the city sphere, this activity is carried out at six points throughout the city and administrative districts in Jakarta. The activity was carried out by cleaning the Ciliwung river and West Flood Canal for more than 25 km and the area around the regent's office.

Then on the sub-district scale, community service is carried out in 44 sub-districts in Jakarta by cleaning each PHB channel in each sub-district. Then, the scale of the residents is carried out by 261 urban villages in Jakarta.

"All of these activities are not only carried out by hand but also with the help of more than 240 heavy equipment spread throughout Jakarta. From this activity, the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government is targeting the dredging of 67,226 cubic meters of mud," added Joko.
