Residents raise concerns over safety after street collapses in Matraman

Residents living alongside the Ciliwung River canal in Kebon Manggis, Matraman, East Jakarta, have raised concerns over their safety after Jl. Kesatrian X, a street in front of their houses and beside the canal, collapsed on Tuesday. The subsided 50-meter section of the street forced motorcycles and cars onto alternative routes on Wednesday, leaving only about 30 centimeters of space for residents to walk along the street. The East Jakarta Water Resources Management Agency and the Public Facility Maintenance Agency (PPSU) began to build a gabion wall to reinforce the riverbank on Tuesday afternoon. “I’m really concerned about the safety of living here because of the incident,” said a resident named Rubinah. “I’m afraid that it might damage my house."

Flooding in Jakarta

The flooding, caused by days of heavy rains in Jakarta, has blocked roads and forced businesses in the capital to close. The governor of Jakarta has declared a state of emergency. He also said he was committed to making a ‘breakthrough’ in efforts to tackle the flooding. Jakarta resident, Wildan, urged the government to do more to stop floods in the future. “The dams are no longer sufficient to hold the water,” he said. Yayan Supriatna, an urban planning expert, told the BBC that Jakarta’s drainage system “is still the same as it was in the Dutch colonial era and should be rebuilt. “The floods are caused by the failure to manage and sustain the rivers as water reservoirs.”
