Some 50 joint personnel using one mini boat are seen cleaning the one-kilometer-long connecting (phb) channel on Jalan Cakung Cilincing, East Jakarta.

Those 50 joint personnel involved are Water Resources (SDA) Task Force, PPSU, Environment and Water Agency UPK Task Force, Parks and City Forest Task Force, and Bina Marga Sub-agency Task Force.

Cakung Sub-district Head, Fajar Eko Satriyo said, the clean-up action that has been ongoing since Friday (1/21) was carried out, as the channel was full of garbage and mud up to one meter.

"It is carried out gradually every day," he said, Monday (1/24).

According to him, it was also aimed at overcoming the inundation that occurred on Jalan Raya Cacing.

"It is targeted to be complete next week ahead," he closed.
