Three connecting channels in Koja Sub-district, North Jakarta, were dredged. The effort was held by North Jakarta Sub-dept. of Water Management.

The channels are already full with mud. Surrounding roads always inundated during rain

Rahmad Efendi Lubis, Koja Sub-district Head, said those three channels are Palem, Mawar, and Lorong 104. Each channels has two-three meter wide and 300 meter long.

“The channels are already full with mud. Surrounding roads always inundated during rain,” he said, Tuesday (6/7).

Previously, his side had difficulty dredging the channel since the area was occupied by street vendors. Now the street vendors have been controlled.

“The agency will also widen channel on Jaan H Tiung, Tugu Selatan,” he closed.
