"All are deployed to pump from inundated areas and flow into channels/canals/rivers," said Anies in the aniesbaswedan Instagram account, Wednesday, January 19.
Thus, he claimed that yesterday's flood conditions in Jakarta could be handled quickly thanks to the systematic work of the DKI Provincial Government.
