JAKARTA: The government has said it is considering designating flood mitigation in Greater Jakarta a national strategic project (PSN) this year, following massive flooding in the region earlier this week that killed at least two people and displaced tens of thousands of others.
Public Works Minister Dody Hanggodo said at a press conference on Friday (March 7) that he and the Jakarta administration would make a proposal to add Greater Jakarta’s flood control efforts to the 2025-2029 PSN.
