11 officers of South Jakarta Water Resources Sub-dept. began to clean up a 300-meter-length water channel on Jalan Bangka I, Pela Mampang, Mampang Prapatan. It is targeted to be finished within two weeks ahead.

Today we began to do cleaning. This is to follow up the locals' complaint

According to Reza Iskandar, Head of Executing Unit for Mampang Prapatan Sub-district Water Resources Sub-dept., it is carried out to follow up the locals' complaint. It is because Jalan Bangka I is often inundated when it rains.

"Today we began to do cleaning. This is to follow up the locals' complaint," he expressed, Wednesday (4/11). 

Besides thick mud, his side also does demolishment to dredge cement that covers the channel.

"Because of cement, water channel can't flow well and overflowed onto Jalan Bangka I. By doing so, we hope the street can be free from inundation," he stated.
