JAKARTA - The rain that flushed DKI Jakarta caused a number of areas to be flooded, one of which was in RT 09/03 and RT 03/03, East Cilandak, Pasar Minggu, Tuesday, November 19, in the afternoon.

Danton BPBD South Jakarta Region, Diki said the height in the area reached 140 centimeters at 17.00 WIB.

"The water level reached 140 centimeters at 17.00 WIB," said Diki when confirmed, Tuesday, November 19.

Diki said the cause of the flooding in the two RTs was due to forgetting the Krukut River and the intensity of the rain which was quite heavy since 17.00 WIB.

"The reason is because the river overflow is tight," he said.

Even though the water level is above 100 centimeters, the affected residents still choose to live in their respective homes
