We also send a mobile pump type master for optimal results

Jatinegara SDA Task Force Coordinator, Tamrizal said puddles as high as 10-15 centimeters were overflowed, because of the malfunctioned drain. It was also made worse by heavy rain with strong winds.

"In addition to clearing the garbage in the drains, the personnel also help regulate traffic around the location to avoid congestion," he stated.

They were deployed to Jalan DI Panjaitan, starting from the Cawang-Halim Perdanakusuma intersection, in front of Patria Park, Penas, Kebon Nanas intersection to the Jalan Basuki Rahmat intersection. Including across from Jatinegara Train Station and Jalan Jatinegara Barat intersection.

"We also send a mobile pump type master for optimal results," he said.
