Widespread Flooding Reported in Jakarta
Jakarta. More than 50 areas in Jakarta were inundated following heavy rains in the early hours of Tuesday (21/02), the National Disaster Mitigation Agency, or BNPB, reported.
The agency received more than 400 reports of flooding across the capital.
"There are 54 areas that were flooded, with at least 11 in South Jakarta, 29 in East Jakarta and 14 in North Jakarta," BNPB spokesman Sutopo Purwo Nugroho said.
He added that the flooding occurred because the city's drainage system was unable to cope with the sheer volume of water resulting from the continuous downpour, in addition to rising river levels.
The Karet water gate in South Jakarta has been placed on standby-level 1 on Tuesday morning, just one step away from a flood alert. The Pasar Ikan and Pulogadung water gates, meanwhile, are on standby-level 2.
