Jakarta Governor, Basuki Tjahaja Purnama asked Manggarai sluice gate always opened to avoid inundation at residential when the upstream water comes.
We can not hold the upstream water, then why you closed the gate
"The sluice gate must be left opened," he said, Monday (2/29).
According to him, residential or other spots would be flooded if Manggarai sluice gate is closed and Katulampa dam is in alert 3.
