In order to speed up puddle suction in Kampung Pulo, Kampung Melayu, East Jakarta, five mobile pumps were operated.

Those pumps must be added

Budi Setiawan, Jatinegara Sub-district Head, admitted that five mobile pumps were unable to speed up the suction. He will ask East Jakarta Sub-dept. of Water Management or province level to deploy more mobile pumps.

“Those pumps must be added,” he said, Wednesday (2/3).
