"Today, fines have begun for vehicles that do not pass the emission test. The target is two-wheeled and four-wheeled vehicle emission tests," said Slamet when confirmed by VOI, Friday, September 1, morning.

In the technical raid process, Slamet said, vehicles passing by were marginalized, then emission tests were carried out by the Central Jakarta LH Sub-dept.

"If he does not pass or he does not test the emission, he will be ticketed. The ticket is fined by the police. Today the ticket is on the spot. If the matter of the police's authority ticket is not with us (LH Sub-Department). We are only to check the emission test or not," he said.

Please note, the emission test raid on two-wheeled and four-wheeled vehicles in Central Jakarta was previously scheduled to be carried out on Jalan Asia Afrika, Senayan, Tanah Abang District, Central Jakarta.
