According to her, the work has been carried out by 15 personnel since early December.

Setiawan (29), a resident of RT 03/RW 10, appreciated the sub-agency's quick response to residents' requests to repair the channel.
He shared that the area was frequently flooded during heavy rains, as the old channel couldn't handle the volume of rainwater.
"Thankfully, the channel is finally being normalized, so it can now hold more water and help prevent flooding when it rains," he expressed.
