DENPASAR - PT Jasamarga Bali Tol (JBT) has implemented a special lane on the Bali Mandara Toll Road for the 10th World Water Forum (WWF) delegation to ensure smooth traffic during the country's agenda to take place on 18-25 May 2024.

"The thorough preparation we have made aims to ensure this event runs smoothly and successfully," said JBT I President Director Ketut Adiputra Karang in Denpasar as reported by ANTARA, Wednesday, May 15.

To ensure the smoothness and safety of the delegates, his party plans to implement an open-close system at the 01 toll substation and install a special clue board for the VIP lane.

Special lanes have also been prepared at substation 04 at each toll gate for the World Water Forum security team crossing, including the Presidential Security Forces (Paspampres), the police, the Traffic Corps and the TNI.

The effort is expected to increase the efficiency and safety of the delegates' travel during the international agenda.

The state-owned joint venture is also collaborating with the police in installing additional surveillance cameras at nine strategic points.

Officers and operational fleets were also prepared such as cranes, rescues, consumer service vehicles, and ambulances on standby 24 hours.

To speed up toll payment transactions, four mobile reader electronic cards were also alerted at three gates, namely Benoa, Ngurah Rai, and Nusa Dua.

His party also coordinated with the police, the Denpasar Department of Transportation and the Indonesian Navy for security coordination.

The World Water Forum is an international meeting involving a number of stakeholders in the water resources sector, ranging from the government, parliament, political leaders, multilateral institutions, politicians, academics, civil society, business actors, and so on.

The 10th WWF carries six main sub-themes, namely water security and well-being, water for humans and nature, reduction and management of disaster risk, governance, cooperation, and hydro-democracy, sustainable water financing, and knowledge and innovation.

It is planned that as many as 14 heads of state and around 50 thousand participants will attend the World Water Forum in Bali.
