The repair of collapsed water channel retaining wall on Jalan Batu Sadi I, RT 10/02, Batu Ampar Urban Village, Kramat Jati District, East Jakarta has been completed fully.

Head of Kramat Jati Water Resources Unit, Muchlis explained the retaining wall, approximately 10 meters long and 1.2 meters high, collapsed due to heavy rain that poured down on the area last week.

"We deployed seven Blue Taskforce personnel assisted by PPSU. The repair was run manually," he said, Thursday (11/6).

He added that the work was hampered by the water channel being blocked by concrete cast by residents. Therefore, it had to be dismantled first using a breaker.

"Thankfully the work has been completed in seven days ," he added.

Meanwhile, LMK RW 02, Batu Ampar Urban Village, Siti Zuriyah appreciated the quick response of the unit to repair the retaining wall.

"We directly reported the incident when the retaining wall collapsed. As the work has been completed, the residents feel safe and comfortable," she admitted.
