We need to demolish the cover to ease the channel cleaning and dispose the trash and mud

Lago Urban Village Head, Indria Hilmi, admitted that the channel was never been dredged. It disturbed the water flow.

"We need to demolish the cover to ease the channel cleaning and dispose the trash and mud," Hilmi said.

As the result, PPSU personnel transported 150 sacks of trash and mud from 200 meter water channel.

"It is hoped the effort will prevent puddle during rainy season," Hilmi added.
