“The reason for the Pondok Labu (DHF case) is because there is a lot of vacant land so that friday (The larva monitors) cannot carry out monitoring there because they must have permission from the owner,” said Cilandak Sub-district Head Djaharuddin as reported by Antara, Friday (8/7/2022).
He admitted that it was difficult to clean the mosquito larvae because they needed permission from the land owner who did not live in the area.
