A manhole cover of connection channel that empties into Sekretaris River, RW 03, Kelapa Dua, Kebon Jeruk, West Jakarta, demolished. The demolishment is done to smoothen mud draining in the channel as long as 20 meters. 

Channel is clogged because of trash from food and grocery stalls

Kelapa Dua Urban Village Head, Herman said it is done to minimize inundation and flood that often hit Jalan Panjang when rain pours. 

"Channel is clogged because of trash from food and grocery stalls," he expressed, Tuesday (3/22).

To optimize it, his side requests assistance from West Jakarta Water Management Sub-dept.

"We hope citizens do not throw trash haphazardly to the river," he hoped.
