MATARAM - The cross-regency lane in the Pusuk Forest area, Lombok Island, West Nusa Tenggara, was forced to be closed by the police due to landslides on a number of cliffs that covered the road.

Kaur Bin Ops (KBO) North Lombok Police Traffic Unit Ipda Bambang Tedi said his party was following up on the natural incident by diverting the driver's route through Senggigi, West Lombok Regency.

"To avoid things that are not desirable, we urge users of the Pusuk Forest route to access the route through the Senggigi area," said Bambang as quoted by Antara, Monday, December 6.

According to information in the field, Bambang said that the landslide which cut off access for road users to North Lombok Regency was observed on Monday, December 6, at around 08.00 WITA.

Chunks of rocks and soil as well as trees covered the road and had disrupted two-wheeled and four-wheeled vehicles that were about to pass.

Fortunately, in the midst of these conditions, Bambang reported that there were no casualties. The landslide is thought to be due to the intensity of heavy rains that have continued to occur since Sunday, December 5 afternoon.

In addition to landslides, the heavy rains caused flooding in a number of districts and cities. Likewise, other natural events that cause fallen trees and high waves.
