"We have deployed one heavy equipment type Whell XL 11, three trucks in the size of five cubic meters and two trucks in the size of eight cubic meters. Three personnel have been alerted at the location," she said.
She added the obstacles faced during the work were the many trees on the right and left of the channel, electricity cables and other utilities that were too low.
"We tied the cables not to interfere with the movement of the heavy equipment. As for the trees, the distance is too close, so we dredge the mud from the other side of the channel," she stated.
