JAKARTA - The DKI Jakarta Provincial Government held a hand arrest operation (OTT) using drones to search for people who throw garbage carelessly during motorized vehicle free days (HBKB) or car free day (CFD) in the Sudirman-Thamrin area.

The Provincial-level HBKB enforcement post in Sudirman Thamrin was held in 7 locations, namely, in front of Gedung Jaya, Jalan Sumenep, in front of the Hotel Indonesia Kempinski, Fly Over Statue Sudirman, in front of the Chase Plaza Building, CIMB Building and FX Sudirman Mall. A total of 194 supervisors were deployed.

Head of the DKI Jakarta Environmental Agency, Asep Kuswanto, revealed that OTT was carried out conventionally with a drone belonging to the DKI Kominfotik Service.

"We use drones to take action against violators who litter at the Provincial-level HBKB activities, city-level HBKB, and identified locations are often found by residents who litter," Asep told reporters, Sunday, November 6.

Based on today's OTT waste activity, there are 15 violators who were subject to forced money fines. The DKI Provincial Government has collected a total fine of IDR 710,000 and 4 violators who have been sentenced to social sanctions to collect garbage at the location.

"This activity will be routinely carried out in the future according to the direction of the Acting Governor of DKI Jakarta," continued Asep.

In addition, OTT residents littering is also carried out at the HBKB at the administrative city level and locations prone to activities of residents who litter.

This OTT uses the legal basis of Regional Regulation Number 3 of 2013 concerning Waste Management, which states that the Governor can impose administrative sanctions in the form of forced money to each person intentionally or proven to dispose of waste and/or carcasses of animals into rivers/cavities, reservoirs, situ, wastewater channels, on roads, parks, or public places and subject to a maximum of Rp500,000 of forced money.
