BOGOR - Three housing estates in Cibinong, Bogor Regency, West Java, Nirwana Golden Park, Mutiawa Hijau Residence and Grand Cibinong, were flooded all day due to blockage of culverts.

"So, there are clogged culverts. There is garbage and hotel construction materials. This is being cleaned. Because the conditions are cloudy again, it is feared that the flooding will be prolonged," said Cibinong sub-district head Rusliandy in Bogor, Antara, Tuesday, August 16.

The water with a height of about 120 centimeters submerged dozens of houses located not far from the Sayaga Hotel building. The hotel is under construction by a Regional Owned Enterprise (BUMD) of Bogor Regency, namely PT Sayaga Wisata.

Currently, the blockage that has occurred since Monday is being handled by the Department of Public Works and Spatial Planning (PUPR) and the Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) of Bogor Regency.

Meanwhile, Deputy Chairman of RT 05/09 Mutiara Hijau Residence, Ali admitted that since the construction of the Sayaga Hotel, flooding has become a scourge for residents every time the rainy season comes.

"Since the construction of a hotel near the entrance to the housing estate, it has happened six times. I have lived here for 12 years. Previously, there had never been a flood. This month alone, it has happened three times," said Ali.

He hoped that the Bogor Regency Government would take concrete steps to address the residents' problems.

"We ask officials to come down to see the condition. Hopefully it won't flood anymore. We're not buying cheap houses here," he said.
