To dredge the mud, as many as 20 workers deployed to the location where they had to go into box culverts to haul the mud manually using hoes, crowbars, cangkrang, dustpans, and sacks.
"After this, hopefully, the channel can accommodate water in large quantities when it rains to anticipate flooding," he hoped.
