Puddles that inundate Jalan Raya Kalimalang, RW 08 Duren Sawit are complained by local citizens living in Industrial and Bulog Housing complexes, Wednesday (2/17). It has been going on since 10 days.

Haidir, (70), a citizen of Industrial Complex explained, puddle as high as 50 cm inundate her house. She was disappointed with puddle that receded within five hours.

"This is the first time happened in our residential. It never happened before," he told, Wednesday (2/17). 

Citizen suspected, the cause of puddle is due to water channel not connected to Buaran River. Thus, water overflows onto Jalan Raya Kalimalang and inundates houses in both complexes when rain poured.

Assistant for East Jakarta Development and Environment, Syofian Taher asks Water Management Sub-dept to build crossing and suck up puddle.

"We have asked related unit to build crossing to Kalimalang. We also prepare pump to suck up puddle optimally," he finished.
