Matraman Sub-district Head Andriansyah said it was due to overflowing waters of Utan Kayu River and drainage that could not accommodate water in large quantities.

"But now puddles have re ceded," he expressed.

To handle it, we sent 12 joint personnel of Water Resources (SDA) Task Force and PPSU to the location.

"We command them to clean drains ad gutters," he stated.
