Responding this, Head of Flood Control Facilities and Infrastructures Section for East Jakarta Water Management Public Works Sub-Department, Supriyatni, explained that the bus stop demolition has been coordinated with East Jakarta Transportation Sub-Department. Later, the bus stop will be re-built if the drain normalization project finished.
