As many as 95 joint personnel have been dispatched to clean up the four-meter width Batu Ampar Connecting Channel, RT 16/03, Kramat Jati, East Jakarta. 

"It is aimed to minimize inundation and flooding when it rains," expressed Batu Ampar Urban Village Head, Achmad Ruslan, Wednesday (1/22).

In the future, similar action is planned to be executed in other channels spread over RW 02 and 04, which is a continuation of the Batu Ampar channel.

"It is targeted to be complete tomorrow," he stressed.

RT 16/03 Batu Ampar Chairman Apriyanto expressed his gratitude as his party's report had been followed up quickly and well.

"Hopefully the channels can accommodate water in large quantities and smoothen water flow," he hoped.
