Dozens of joint personnel from East Jakarta PPSU, Water Resources (SDA) Task Force, and Transportation Sub-agency, successfully handled puddles on Jalan Raya Jambore, Cibubur Urban Village, Ciracas, Wednesday (10/1), at around 4 PM.

We plan to normalize the channel for better performance

Inundation occurred at around 2.10 PM during heavy rain. Some of the personnel deployed immediately cleaned up the garbage blocking the storm drains. Others help regulate traffic and direct motorists to turn around to find alternative routes.

Ilyas, a member of Cibubur Urban Village PPSU expressed that every time it rains heavily, he and his team are always on standby at the location to help passing motorists and clean up garbage carried by the water.

"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.
