To prevent flooding, seven personnel of Johar Baru Sub-district Bina Marga Executing Unit, Central Jakarta have fixed three gutters alongside Jalan Jembatan Galur, RW 02, Galur Urban Village.

Hopefully, it is able to overcome flood problem

Johar Baru Bina Marga Executing Unit Head, Brahmaweni said, it was carried out as the gutter could not accommodate water optimally.

"We widen it to 50 centimeters. We also clean it from garbage in order to accommodate water in large quantities thus the water flows into the Sentiong River smoothly," he expressed, Monday (11/15).

According to him, it was also aimed to follow up on citizen complaints and has been ongoing since Friday (11/12).

After it was done, another gutter was made with 20 centimeters depth with 15 centimeters width in a bid to stop flooding during the rainy season.

"Actually it already exists but we added the depth from three to 20 centimeters. Hopefully, it is able to overcome flood problem," he stated.
