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.
