JAKARTA - A gas pipe leaked at MT Haryono, South Jakarta. As a result, long traffic jams occur at that location.

The Head of the Tebet Police, AKP Estu, confirmed the incident. According to him, the incident occurred on Wednesday, July 20, at 11.45 WIB.

He added, as a result of the gas leak, traffic flow had to be temporarily diverted.

"There was a gas pipe leak, while those from Cawang to the east were closed and diverted to Tebet Eco Park, Pancoran and Tebet Raya," Estu said when confirmed, Wednesday, July 20.

However, now the traffic flow can be crossed, but only one lane. The path will be re-opened after there is information from the project.

"Meanwhile, the gas pipeline is no longer coming out. If the command is declared safe, only one lane will be reopened," he said.

When asked about the personnel guarding the location, Estu revealed that there was no increase in the number of personnel. Because it is considered sufficient to overcome the congestion.

"While the existing officers are at the Pancoran flyover, Tebet, and at the TL (traffic light) Kalibata, Cawang, I think it has been sterilized enough with the existing members," he concluded.
