TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Head of the Jakarta Disaster Mitigation Agency (BPBD) Isnawa Adji on Wednesday declared the capital city is free from floods following Tuesday’s heavy rainfall which caused mass floodings in a number of areas.

"The Jakarta BPBD notes that currently, the floods have completely receded," he said in a written statement on October 5.

On Tuesday, 31 subdistricts and six major streets in Jakarta were inundated. Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan also made a visit to the floodgates on Jalan Kemang Raya, South Jakarta. Flooding continues in nine subdistricts until Wednesday morning at 06:00.

Disaster mitigation personnel mobilized mobile flood pumps and managed to clear all of the areas, he explained.

The Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) predicts the weather will remain wet with heavy rainfall until October 8.
