A sheet pile will be built along the Poncol connecting channel in Bungur Urban Village, Senen Sub-district in the forthcoming 2021.

Central Jakarta Deputy Mayor Irwandi said it was planned to anticipate flooding in Bungur area.

"It also aims to avoid buildings overhanging the channel," he expressed, Thursday (11/12).

His party was also going to transform the right and left sides of the channel into a park.

"So, both sides will look green as they are planted with various kinds of plants," he stated.
