He said that in addition to the construction of the market building, the project also includes addressing the problem of waterlogging in residential areas around the market.
In the future, a drainage channel will be built that is directly connected to the river to reduce the risk of flooding during the rainy season.
"It turns out that during the rainy season, the village next to the market is often flooded, so we built a drainage channel that connects directly to the river," he said.
Meanwhile, during a direct visit to the field, Deputy Regent Sri Setyorini emphasized the importance of coordination between parties so that any obstacles in the field can be resolved immediately without hindering development progress.
