JAKARTA - The water channel excavation project on Jalan Ciledug Raya, to be precise in front of the BSI Campus, Ulujami, Pesanggrahan, South Jakarta has been running for three months. However, until now the project has not been completed, even causing the condition of the road to collapse.

Monitoring of VOI, Tuesday, September 27, at 14.05 WIB, saw a large hole covered with zinc. The zinc is intended to close the dug water channel.

There were no visible officers from the contractor who were on guard at the excavation project. The project workers were also not seen at the location.

There was also the condition of the road that collapsed due to the water channel excavation project, resulting in making the road even narrower. As for passing motorists to be more careful, to avoid large potholes on the road.

Fahmi (50) as the BSI Satpam, which is located near the water channel excavation, said that this project had been running since June 2022.

Furthermore, he said that a number of excavation projects were built, there were many complaints from residents to campus owners. However, this was not ignored by the contractors and related agencies.

"There were 3 months ago the project started to be done. It caused traffic jams from that direction (Jakarta). Actually there were complaints from residents. But it's just a complaint, (it's not heeded)," said Fahmi when met at the location, Tuesday, September 27.

Fahmi also revealed that he had seen several airports suffer injuries from procrastination and bleeding, due to zinc scratches.

"2 weeks ago, ladies and gentlemen. You got zinc in the leg, because you were too close here (short). drew a lot of blood, grazed here. It was cleaned up," he said.

He hopes that this project will be completed soon. The goal is that there are no other victims due to the excavation.

"Hopefully it will be finished quickly, so that it doesn't get stuck and there are no more victims. Moreover, the excavation is around this corner, it's dangerous," he concluded.
