JAKARTA - President Prabowo Subianto confirmed that the electricity supply in a number of flood-affected areas had not been fully turned on because it considered security factors.
According to the President, this was done to prevent the risk of accidents due to electrical installations that were still submerged in water. However, he ensured that most areas had been reconnected to the electricity.
"There are still some that are dangerous, because the cables if they pass through the flooded water are still dangerous. This can result in casualties if you are not careful," explained Prabowo in the Plenary Cabinet Meeting at the State Palace, Jakarta, Monday, December 15, reported by ANTARA.
The Head of State explained that PT PLN (Persero) is currently working hard in the field with very challenging conditions.
He emphasized that the recovery of electricity problems must be carried out very carefully to ensure public safety. Prabowo emphasized that electricity could only be turned back on after the conditions were confirmed to be safe.
The government appeals to the public in flood-affected areas to remain vigilant, especially in areas where there are flooded electrical installations.
"So, PLN is working very hard, facing very challenging conditions, and they have been there for dozens of days," said Prabowo.
