JAKARTA - The DKI Jakarta Provincial Government has started to tighten supervision on the pedestrian bridge (JPO) following the rampant cases of theft of materials, especially iron plates.
This step was taken to maintain the safety of the public who use JPO to cross the road. The Governor of DKI Jakarta, Pramono Anung, said that the installation of surveillance cameras was one of the main efforts that are currently being carried out at various JPO points.
"Now almost all of my JPOs have asked to start installing CCTV," said Pramono in East Jakarta, Tuesday, April 14.
In addition to supervision, the DKI Provincial Government has also prepared punitive measures for perpetrators of theft who are still determined to damage public facilities.
"If there are still people who take or steal the iron in the JPO, I will encourage them to take firm action against whoever it is, because this has disturbed public order," said Pramono.
Pramono assessed that the theft of iron plates at the JPO not only caused material losses, but also had the potential to endanger the safety of people who passed by. Therefore, enforcement will be carried out in conjunction with ongoing city improvement efforts.
"We will slowly fix Jakarta, hopefully whoever will do it we can immediately catch it," he said.
The case of theft of JPO components had previously come under the spotlight because it caused damage to the crossing facility. This condition is considered to increase the risk of accidents, especially for pedestrians who rely on JPO to cross on busy roads.
