The Jakarta Fire and Rescue (Gulkarmat) Agency firefighters are currently still suctioning inundation at Kemayoran Underpass, Central Jakarta. Predictably, water would recede tonight.
Jakarta Gulkarmat Agency Head Satriadi Gunawan expects the rainfall today is not too high, thus the water debit does not increase again at the underpass.
