Today, we'll do water pumping and then dredge the river where it will be made as a water cistern

Normalization is to prevent landslide disaster that had occurred a few days ago. To send one excavator, South Jakarta Administration should tear down some homes as the access road.

South Jakarta Water Management Sub-dept Head, Holi Susanto disclosed, if there are no obstacles, the heavy equipement can already be used to handle landslide in Pondok Labu.

"Today, we'll do water pumping and then dredge the river where it will be made as a water cistern. After that, we will dredge the channel," he expressed, Saturday (9/10).

Besides dredging, sheet pile reparation will also be done. "Certainly, we will do this carefully. If not, the sheet pile will easily collapse," he finished.
