JAKARTA - The damage to roads in the city is usually caused by standing water. The reason is that there is no drainage, including the conditions on Jalan Amin, Putussibau City.

Fransiskus said that the road handling in the city has been included in the planning, especially for Jalan Amin and Jalan KS Tubun.

Jalan Amin Putussibau, according to the plan, requires a budget of around Rp. 2 billion, because the road will be elevated and drainage will be made for drainage.

As for Jalan KS Tubun Putussibau, the planning requires a budget of around Rp. 6 billion, upgrading roads, bridges as well as water drainage.

"It is planned that the road construction in the city will be carried out next year, if there are still funds later this year, we will handle Jalan Amin first," he said.

Fransiskus said that drainage at several points in the city was not functioning because there was no drainage, and many were clogged and closed, both by garbage and the construction of people's houses.

"I hope that our citizens must also care about the environment, not to litter, it can cause clogged drainage," said Fransiskus.
