A 600-meter-long water channel on Jalan Batu Tulis Raya, Gambir, cleaned by ranks of Central Jakarta Water Management Sub-dept. It is targeted to be complete in the upcoming April.

Head of Maintenance Section for Central Jakarta Water Management Sub-dept, Boris Karlop Lumbangaol said, draining is carried out because mud as thick as 50 centimeters, thus water cannot flow well.

"Draining has been carried out since March 10 and is targeted to be completed on April 10," he stated, Monday (3/28).

His side sent 15 officers of Central Jakarta Water Management to the field.

"We have drained about 500 meters so far," he finished.
