BANYUWANGI - As many as 100 houses in 2 Hamlets Sumber Jambe and Hamlet Sumbergandeng, Kandangan Village, Pesanggaran District, Banyuwangi, East Java, were flooded.

The flood that was almost half a meter high also destroyed one of the bridges connecting the hamlets.

The Head of Pesanggaran Sub-district, Agus Mulyono, said that the flooding occurred due to heavy rains that occurred on Monday, March 21.

The rain started at 11.00 WIB and only stopped around 15.00 WIB.

"Due to the rain, the Karang Tambak river overflowed into residential areas," he said.

The flood, continued Agus, overflowed into 2 hamlets and flooded 100 houses. Not only that, the bridge connecting the hamlets also collapsed under the swift currents.

"There are 63 families and approximately 100 houses. Water enters people's homes. One of the bridges also collapses, but residents can still cross because the bridge is not the only access," he said.

Until now, the Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) officers together with Forkopimca Pesanggaran are still at the location as well as calculating losses due to flooding.

"There were no casualties, regarding material losses we are still calculating," he said.
