Pramono Will Check Baswedan Embankment Which Is Broken Due To Heavy Rain

JAKARTA - DKI Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung will directly check the condition of the Baswedan Embankment, Jatipadang Village, South Jakarta, which collapsed due to heavy rains in Jakarta last week.

This plan was conveyed after residents affected by the flood due to the breakdown of the Baswedan Embankment asked Pramono to directly resolve the problem.

This embankment was built in 2017 by former DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan. The embankments also broke out in 2018 and July 2025.

"Indeed, tomorrow I will go there. Incidentally tomorrow I will go to the Baswedan Embankment. His name will still be Baswedan's embankment, in Jatipadang," said Pramono at Taman Ismail Marzuki, Central Jakarta, Monday, November 3.

After breaking on Thursday night, October 30, the Water Resources Service officers carried out temporary handling by building a sheet pile from a sack filled with sand. Later, Pramono ensured that the embankment would be rebuilt.

"First, I have ordered water resources to overcome that and at the time of the incident on Friday, then the embankment can be overcome immediately," said Pramono.

The DKI Jakarta Water Resources Agency noted that the collapse and landslide occurred on eight embankments in Jakarta when heavy rains hit Jakarta almost every day since Thursday, October 30, until now.

More specifically, as many as 5 embankments collapsed and 3 landslide embankments, all of which were in South Jakarta. Secretary of the DKI Jakarta SDA Service Hendri said this incident was caused by high water discharge in several rivers and connecting channels in the area.

Currently, the South Jakarta Natural Resources Sub-dept. has carried out emergency handling by building temporary embankments using sand-filled sacks to hold water runoff in affected locations.

"We have dispatched a team to all points of damage to carry out emergency handling. We are currently focusing on preventing water runoff from spreading to residential areas," said Hendri in his statement.

The following is the location of the collapsed and broken embankments:

1. Embankment in Kemang Village (Lippo Mall Kemang) from the Krukut River, along 13.5 meters.
