To prevent flood in rainy season, a drainage that built on the west side of Jalan Sumur Batu Raya, Sumur Batu Urban Village, Kemayoran, Central Jakarta, began to be drained, Sunday (7/5). The draining is done because the mud in the drain has been thickened.

 If the mud is neglected, the drainage cannot accommodate water in large quantities and prone to flooding.

"This is a proposal of local citizens, because the drain already clogged by mud and disrupt water flow," told Head of Kemayoran Sub-District, Herry Purnama.

On the other side, Purnama also hopes all citizens to participate in maintaining cleanliness and not littering. That is why, all drainages would be drained in future,
