JEPARA - A landslide occurred again on the road to Tempur Village, Keling District, Jepara Regency, Central Java, after a cliff 100 meters high collapsed and closed the access road for local villagers.
According to the Keling Lulut Sub-district Head, Andi Ariyanto, the location of the landslide was in Damarwulan Village, Keling District, Jepara. However, the impact closed the road access to Tempur Village.
Head of Tempur Village Maryono added that the landslide occurred on Tuesday evening at 21.30 WIB.
As a result of the incident, access to Jalan Damarwulan-Tempur could not be passed, because in addition to being covered by landslide material in the form of soil, there were also large-sized rocks.
Residents of Tempur Village who want to be active, he said, are forced to take an alternative route, namely through Medani Village, Cluwak District, Pati Regency with a longer route because it passes through Pati territory.
To clean the road so that it can be passed again, he said, it cannot be done manually, but must use heavy equipment, considering the large-sized stones are not only one but quite a lot.
In addition to closing the road access, the landslide material that fell also damaged the road body which has a width of 4 meters.
He also hopes for immediate handling, because it is the main access for his citizens. Meanwhile, for the time being, it can be through the Medani Village Route.
"We also hope for immediate handling of the PLN power grid cable because it is disconnected because there is one electric pole that is affected," he said as quoted by Antara, Wednesday, March 11.
Meanwhile, the Acting Head of the Jepara Regency BPBD, Arwin Noor Isdiyanto, revealed that heavy equipment had been deployed to handle the landslide material that had closed the road access.
"Heavy equipment that was previously in Kaliombo, has now been shifted to the landslide location in Damarwulan Village," he said.
To handle large-sized stones that block access to the road to Tempur Village, he said, a large excavator breaker for class 1 ton was needed. Handling it must also be extra careful because there are still large-sized stones hanging on the cliff.
"Hopefully it can be handled immediately, so that the road access can be passed again by residents," he said.
Tempur Village was isolated for quite some time, after the only road access to the local village was covered by landslide material and the road body was also eroded by the river flow in early January 2026. Now a similar disaster has occurred again, so residents have to try accessing the road through Medani Village, Cluwak District, Pati Regency.
