Torrential Rain Paralyzes Jakarta
Description: Heavy monsoonal rains triggered severe flooding in large swathes of the Indonesian cap­ital Jakarta on Thursday, with many government offices and businesses were forced to close because staff could not get to work. Weather officials warned the rains could get worse over the next few days and media reports said that thousands of people in Jakarta and its satellite cities had been forced to leave their homes because of the torrential downpours this week.
