In The Aftermath Of The Helicopter Falling, The Bali Provincial Government Godok Task Force Handles Violations Of Playing Kites

DENPASAR - The Provincial Government (Pemprov) of Bali is preparing a task force (task force) that will handle violations of playing kites in the aftermath of a helicopter that crashed due to kite ropes.

"In accordance with the direction of our leadership, we really want to make a task force consisting of those who have attended so that the communication is fast," said Head of Bali Satpol PP I Dewa Nyoman Rai Dharmadi, Tuesday, July 23.

He mentioned several stakeholders who attended the coordination meeting and were included in the task force, including the Transportation Service as the coordinator, Satpol PP, traditional village, airnav, airport authority, Lanud, PLN, and the traditional community promotion office.

"But we are still waiting further because we are still gathering who will enter the task force according to the instructions of the Governor of Bali but were asked by the head of the coordinating transportation service," he said as quoted by ANTARA.

In this initial coordination meeting, the Bali Provincial Government collected input from stakeholders in response to the case of a helicopter crashing in Suluban Pecatu on Friday (19/7).

Some suggestions suggest that the Bali Provincial Government revise the Bali Provincial Regulation Number 9 of 2000 concerning the Prohibition of Increasing Kites and Similar Games at Ngurah Rai Airport and its surroundings.

Suggestions that come in such as setting definite coordinates so that the pilot knows the right point and provides space for local people to play kites in a safe location.

Dewa Rai said the results of this coordination would be submitted to the Acting Governor of Bali Sang Made Mahendra, because the revised plan is still under consideration.

In addition, while the formation of a task force that oversees violations of playing kites, the Bali Provincial Government will be effective in socialization, including visiting schools.

Bali Satpol PP sees violations by playing kites in the zone that have been regulated due to a lack of public knowledge that there are flight regulations and local regulations regarding the distance and altitude that regulates it.

"We also encourage socialization to young people because so far most of the kite players are young junior high and high school students, so when we find violations, the effort to take action is not only to their children, but to their parents," said Rai Dharmadi.
