JAKARTA (The Jakarta Post/ANN): Jakarta residents once again woke up to widespread flooding on Tuesday (Feb 25) following heavy rain in the capital and the surrounding areas in the night.
The mild to severe flooding across Greater Jakarta has paralysed traffic on several major streets and disrupted a number of public transportation services.
The map showed a high-alert status for several areas, such as Cipinang Melayu and Bidara Cina in East Jakarta, with floodwaters reaching a depth of more than 1.5m in some parts. PT Kereta Commuter Indonesia spokeswoman Anne Purba said operations on several commuter train lines in Greater Jakarta were disrupted, including from Tanah Abang to the stations of Serpong, Maja and Rangkasbitung in Tangerang.
Jasa Marga said the Jakarta Outer Ring Road was the worst hit, with a section of the road near Rorotan, North Jakarta, closed down because it was inundated by 45 to 50 cm of water.
