SELONG - Heavy rains that hit the East Lombok Regency, West Nusa Tenggara (NTB) caused the houses of residents in Pancor Village, Pancor District to be flooded, knee-deep in adults.

"There are dozens of houses affected by the flood," said Head of the Pancor Mosque Lauk Environment, M. Taufik Akbar in Selong, East Lombok, quoted by Antara, Friday, November 26.

The cause of the flood was due to the high intensity of rainfall and the impact of the unfinished drainage project carried out by the contractor on Pejanggik Street, precisely in front of the At Takwa Pancor Mosque.

So that when it rains, the water stagnates and enters the residents' yards through the alley in front of SDN 1 Pancor. There was even water that entered the room, but fortunately there were no casualties.‎

"If it has become a drainage in front of the Pancor Mosque, especially the water disposal, of course there will be no more flooding," he said.

"Alhamdulillah, now the flood has receded and residents are cleaning their houses due to the inundation," he said.

Akbar said that so far there has never been a flood in his area despite heavy rains, but this is the first time there has been a puddle of water entering the residents' yard.

"This is the first time there has been a flood. We hope that project workers will speed up the drainage work so that it can be completed quickly," he said.

The same thing was said by the Head of Pancor Village, East Lombok, L Ridho Arindi, who said that his party had received reports of flooding in the side of the mosque area, with dozens of residents' houses being flooded.

"We and the officers have gone directly to the field to see the condition of the residents," he said.
