JAKARTA - East Jakarta Gulkarmat Sub-dept. officers deployed 2 fire engines carrying a water tank with a capacity of 10,000 liters of water from each car.

The deployment of the fire engine was to conduct watering on the Cawang protocol road, East Jakarta on Friday, August 25, noon.

The watering of the protocol road is in the context of controlling air pollution in the DKI Jakarta area.

"Rute sprays along Jalan Cawang to Slipi back and forth. We have deployed 2 cars containing 10,000 liters of water," said Kasiop Gatot Sulaeman when contacted by VOI, Friday, August 25.

The spray starts from 09.30 WIB to 11.16 WIB.

"This activity is based on instructions from the Head of the DKI Jakarta Provincial Fire and Rescue Service (Gulkarmat)," he said briefly.

Previously, the Acting Governor of DKI Jakarta Heru Budi Hartono admitted that the problem of air pollution in the capital city was a tough challenge for the government. Until now, the poor air quality in Jakarta has not been resolved.

Heru explained that the main reason for the high air pollution in his area is the use of motorized vehicles belonging to Jabodetabek residents who are active every day.
