"One of the eight channel points built, namely on Jalan Dipenogoro, already completed. Others are targeting for completion later this month," he explained, Monday (7/7).

He explained, those channels were built as the aspirations of residents through Rembuk RW until it was determined in the Musrenbang 2024.

"The work had experienced a rejection from traders along the channel. But,  it could be resolved after coordinating with the local village apparatus," he explained.

He also coordinated with the Central Jakarta Bina Marga Sub-agency to smoothen the work.

"After it is done, we also plan to repair the poor sidewalks at the same place," he said.
