Jakarta Bina Marga Agency deployed personnel to cleanup street gutters along the roads in Jakarta. Based on data obtained, there are 92,317 street gutter points on 1,450 roads that have been cleaned.

We make storm drain inlets on roads and areas that are often flooded

Jakarta Bina Marga Agency Head, Hari Nugroho stated, 92,221 street gutters were in good condition, while the other 96 street gutters needed to be repaired.

"We have deployed our units to clean 92,317 street gutters. They also repair damaged street gutters," he mentioned, Friday (10/15).

According to him, inundation on the road are mostly caused by clogged street gutters. Therefore, not only cleaning street gutters, his side also enlarged the gutters by making storm drain inlets.

"We make storm drain inlets on roads and areas that are often flooded, thus stagnant water on the roads can flow directly into the channels to prevent inundation on the roads," he explained.
