JAKARTA - The DKI Jakarta Provincial Government through the Water Resources Service (SDA) uploaded information on the dredging of the Mampang River after it was declared defeated by the Jakarta State Administrative Court (PTUN) in a resident's lawsuit related to flooding.

Through the Instagram account @dinas_sda, the DKI Jakarta Water Resources Service (SDA) published the dredging of the Mampang River which is said to have been 100 percent completed.

"The DKI Jakarta Provincial Water Resources Service continues to carry out dredging or draining of canals/times/reservoirs through the 'Mud Gesture' activity in all areas of DKI Jakarta Province," the SDA Office uploaded, quoted by Antara, Friday, February 18.

The Natural Resources Office has confirmed the upload. In the upload, it was explained that the dredging was carried out in the Mampang River segment on Jalan Pondok Jaya, Pela Mampang Village, Mampang Prapatan District, South Jakarta.

"Dredging has been 100 percent completed with a target volume of 733.5 m3 which will be carried out from November 28, 2021 to January 22, 2022," the caption reads.

During the dredging, the Department of Natural Resources deployed two mini amphibious and one mini excavator. This upload was liked by hundreds of people, one of whom was the Governor of DKI Jakarta Anies Baswedan.

Previously, the Jakarta Administrative Court granted some of the claims of residents of the Mampang River flood victims with Case Number 205/G/TF/2021/PTUN.JKT.

The verdict, which was uploaded on February 15, 2022, states that the Governor of DKI Jakarta, Anies Baswedan, as a defendant, lost the lawsuit and is obliged to carry out the PTUN decision.

In the decision, the Administrative Court required Anies to carry out a total dredging of the Mampang River to the Pondok Jaya area.
