Liputan6.com, jakarta – On Tuesday (7/7/2025), the floods again plunged into the Kebon Pala II, Kampung Melayu, Jatinegara, East Jakarta area. In total, the four posts of the neighborhood (RT) were touched on the floods after earlier retreated on Monday during the day.
According to the regional agency for the fight against the disasters of the Eastern Jakarta (BPBD), the water began to revise the settlements of residents from 3:00 in the morning from large precipitation and overflow of the Silivung River, which crossed this area.
“It used to recede, but the water returned to the entrance at 3:00 a.m. this morning,” said the head of the regional target group BPBD in the eastern Jakarta, Ali, when it was confirmed on Tuesday, as quoted BetweenField
It is reported that the water level at several points reaches 60 centimeters (cm). BPBD said that this time the flood is exacerbated by the growing status of the dams of the Catoumple on Monday evening from Alert 4 to 3 (90 cm).
“The reason is due to a large amount of precipitation upstream and overflow of the Kilivung River,” Ali added.
Residents who had previously fled home to clean up, but were forced to stay on the second floor of their houses, because the floods rose again. There were no evacuation reports for residents, because most of them decided to stay in place.
One of the inhabitants, Opic, claimed that the water would be higher if it would be rain again.
“It was yesterday afternoon, but now the water rises again from the rain.
