Our monitoring showed the damage was quite significant
Cilandak Sub-district Water Resources (SDA) Executing Unit Head, Yansori stated, the repair was prompted by a landslide at the embankment, following high intensity of rain that increased the water volume in the drainage.
"Our monitoring showed the damage was quite significant, raising concerns of secondary landslides if immediate action wasn't taken," he explained on Wednesday (4/22).

"Seven personnel from the Blue Squad were assigned to the task, carrying out the work manually with standard tools," he added.
He added that the work process, which lasted for more than two weeks, faced several obstacles, particularly when it rained and the water discharge increased, forcing work to be temporarily suspended.
"The work is now complete. We hope this embankment remains sturdy and durable," he added.
