JAKARTA - The Environment Agency (DLH) of Bogor City, West Java, took samples and conducted laboratory tests from a gel that was found by the investigation team that caused the flow of the Ciliwung River, Kedunghalang Village, to be ground. The location of the transit warehouse that stores the gel has also been sealed by joint officers. Head of DLH Bogor City Denni Wismanto said laboratory tests would run for about two weeks. " “ we checked again if we want to be taken to the laboratory, so we know whether the content is really soap or not. If we look at the visible eye, it's soap,” said Denni in Bogor City, Antara, Sunday, March 24. He explained that the provisional suspicion from what was seen in the gel field was soap. According to him, it can be seen in plain view and from the smell. "“While it's still like that we see and check on the pitch. From the naked eye and from the smell, ” he said. From the results of the examination carried out by a joint team of investigations by the Bogor City Government (Pemkot), the alleged perpetrator admitted that the storage warehouse was only a place for the gel trial. Denni also appealed to business owners to have a permit. It is suspected that the business owner, who claimed to be the factory in Bogor Regency, did not understand the business license. “ Business activities must be licensed. This is because of the lack of understanding they are trying. There has to be an increase in supervision, said Denni. The appearance of foam in the Ciliwung River, Kedung Halang Village, was first seen by residents on Saturday (23/3/2024) morning. The findings were then reported to the Ciliwung Naturalization Task Force, regional elements, and DLH Bogor City.

A joint team from the Bogor City Government consisting of the Ciliwung Naturalization Task Force, DLH, Satpol PP, BPBD, sub-districts, and kelurahan conducted an investigation to find the cause of foam in the Ciliwung River, and sealed a transit warehouse suspected of disposing waste into the river.
