Heavy rain causes flood on Jl. Subroto

JAKARTA: Heavy rain in Jakarta on Monday afternoon caused
flooding on Jl. Gatot Subroto from the State Logistics Agency
(Bulog) building to the Ministry of Trade and Industry, where
floodwater reached the top of car tires.

Antara reported on Monday that the deepest flooding occurred
around the Mampang overpass, which is still under construction.

The flooding caused heavy congestion along the road, with some
sedans and motorcycles breaking down.

The flooding brought luck to a number of children as they
could earn money by hiring out umbrellas. --JP
