The joint team secured and cleaned up landslide material that blocked the road on the south route connecting Bungbulang-Mekarmukti District, Garut Regency, West Java, Monday, May 26.
The head of the Bungbulang Police, AKP Yuslianto, said that the delay was carried out so that the road could immediately be crossed by vehicles and did not endanger road users.
"The landslide material covers the road, so it cannot be passed by two-wheeled and four-wheeled vehicles," said Antara in Garut, Monday, May 26, as reported by Antara.
He said the heavy rain that flushed the southern region of Garut was one of the triggers for the landslide disaster that covered the southern Bungbulang-Mekarmukti road, Sunday (25/5) at midnight.
The incident, he said, his staff immediately carried out security and regulated the flow of vehicles, as well as reminded the public to always be aware of the potential dangers of natural disasters such as landslides.
"We urge the public to remain vigilant, especially those living in areas prone to landslides, considering the high intensity of rain in the southern Garut area," he said.
