Some 10 PPSU personnel have been deployed to clear the water channel and weeds on Jalan Outer Ring Road, precisely in Rawa Buaya Bus Stop area, Rawa Buaya Urban Village, Cengkareng Sub-district, West Jakarta.

Rawa Buaya Urban Village Head, Syafwan Busti stated the 1.5-meter-wide channel is cleaned up to 200 meters long, starting from Jalan Guru Ma'mun to Mookervaart River Bridge.

"Beside garbage, we also clear weeds," he expressed, Saturday (3/25).

"If it is clean already, it will smoothen the flow of water into the Mookervart River in order to anticipate inundation when it rains," he explained.

Wahyudi (57), a resident of RT 11/01 Rawa Buaya Urban Village admitted that when it rains heavily, the area around is often inundated due to the overflow of water from the channel.

"I appreciate the channel cleaning today. Hopefully, when it rains heavily, the water can flow smoothly," he said.
