Residents penetrated the flood due to the overflow of Krukut River in Karet Tengsin Village, Tanah Abang, Central Jakarta, onTuesday (25/2/2020).

Floods prevailing in the rainy season have posed a problem that is hard to solve by anyone at the helm of Jakarta. So far, the Jakarta provincial government has made various attempts to deal with the floods.

All attempts to overcome floods indeed is no easy matter. Sustainable and synergetic efforts have to be undertaken to cope with the floods. In this way, no more residents will become flood victims.
