We're doing this to smoothen water flow in the channel thus can accommodate water in large quantities

Some of 10 PPSU members are sent to clean up the connecting channel in RW 03, Maphar Urban Village, Taman Sari, West Jakarta.

Maphar Urban Village Head Sri Pujiastuti said, together with locals, her party did dewatering at the 150-meter long channel.

"We're doing this to smoothen water flow in the channel thus can accommodate water in large quantities," he expressed, Thursday (9/24).

He added there were 20 locals involved during the work.

"Hopefully, after the channel is cleaned, residents no longer throw garbage down the channel," he hoped.
