Ten people have been fined for littering on Jl. Sultan Agung in Pasar Manggis, Tebet, South Jakarta.
Pasar Manggis subdistrict office head Purwati said on Friday that they were caught by 36 administration officers patrolling the Pasar Rumput Market area from Thursday night to early Friday morning.
“We caught 10 people littering on the sidewalks,” she said as quoted by beritajakarta.com.
Purwati said the move was aimed deterring residents from littering as Pasar Rumput was often full of garbage.
She said the 10 residents were taken to the subdistrict office and fined Rp 100,000 (US$7.50) each.
“We imposed stern measures, so we hope people will be deterred,” she said. (cor)
