"We still collect the data. Averagely, the parks are heavily damaged," said Puji Astuti, North Jakarta Parks and Cemeteries Sub-Department Head, Friday (2/20).

Tuti added, because of rainy season still occurs in Jakarta, his side will not repair the parks in near future fearing the parks to be submerged by the water again.

"At least, we scheduled the repair in March because we don’t want the parks damaged again by flood," she uttered.

Tuti continued, the repair process will also include land elevation process besides replace the damaged plants and infrastructure. This should be taken to prevent the parks to be inundated again.
