JAKARTA - DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan raided the sidewalk along Sudirman-Thamrin on Saturday, March 27. This raid is not related to the existence of street vendors (PKL) but to clean the sidewalks.

"Pedestrians on the sidewalks! Today the Rainbow Troops of the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government have been deployed to clean the sidewalks and bus stops along Sudirman-Thamrin," wrote Anies on his Facebook account, as quoted by VOI, Sunday, March 28.

During the raid, Anies said that he had deployed hundreds of cleaners. They clean by brushing the sidewalks and collecting trash.

"There are around 700 of our officers who have disembarked, supported by road sweepers, ten fire trucks, and ten water tanker trucks from the Park and Forest Service," said Anies.

In addition, Anies also asked the building managers located along Sudirman-Thamrin to get involved. At least, in this activity, 200 officers from the building management were involved.

"We also invited the building managers in Sudirman-Thamrin to participate, apparently many welcomed them," he said.

Anies said sidewalk cleaning activities are being discussed as routine activities. Cleaning is carried out as needed. In fact, he also asked the public to report if they found sidewalks in bad condition.

"Seeing that there are dirty sidewalks/damaged bus stops around you? Take a photo and report it using JAKI," said Anies.
