BPBD: Puddles in Jakarta Have Receded Completely"We direct motorists to another safe route so they don't get caught in puddles," he expressed.
Cibubur Urban Village Economy and Development Section Head, Heru Kristianto disclosed the road was often inundated, as the location was in a basin area and the water channel was small.
"There are 25 personnel at the location from SDA, Bina Marga, and Transportation Sub-agency," he expressed.
Ciracas Sub-district SDA Task Force Coordinator, Deby added the rain water could not be caught optimally, as the channel wide on the side of the road was only 40 centimeters.
"We plan to normalize the channel for better performance," he concluded.
