MEDAN - Mayor of Medan, North Sumatra, Bobby Nasution will install a water pump to deal with flooding that often occurs in front of the Bandar Selamat toll gate in the Jalan Letda Sudjono area of Medan.
"Later on, we will install a water pump to drain water towards the drainage so that it can flow perfectly," said Bobby Nasution in Medan as reported by Antara, Monday, May 9.
This was conveyed by Bobby Nasution in anticipation of the incident in the area which often becomes flooded or just around the Bandar Selamat toll gate when it rains heavily even for a moment.
The mayor issued this statement accompanied by the Head of the Medan City Public Works Department, Typhoon Obaja Putra Ginting when he visited the Bandar Selamat toll gate.
"Hopefully it can give optimal results," said Bobby.
In addition, his party ensures that there are two other points in Medan City, namely Jalan Asia and Jalan Sei Kera which are always flooded, so that local people feel uncomfortable.
The mayor of Medan explained, such as on Jalan Asia, the trigger for flooding was due to high sedimentation. Therefore, excavation is carried out, so that the drainage is able to accommodate the water discharge.
"In addition, the water flow on Jalan Emas has been closed, and several channels have been opened so that the water flows smoothly," he said.
The trench on Jalan Emas will also be dredged, because it has been silted up. "Well, if it is possible to widen it, we will do it later," said Bobby Nasution.
