"Indeed we get vary reports in south. Starting from clogged by trash bin and brick. I say you must find out," expressed Jakarta Governor, Basuki T Purnama, Wednesday (8/31).

Besides asked to check drains, the Water Management Dept should also optimize closed-circuit television (CCTV) to monitor. This will simplify them to monitor each condition in the field.

Basuki also explains, some drains are clogged by utility cable installation. he cited, the previous case was in front of Atmajaya Campus, South Jakarta.

"Formerly Atmajaya was always inundated. Lastly, we also solve inundation at the same place. In fact, the drain is clogged by brick. The reason is forgot to open," he finished.
