JAKARTA - Coordinating Minister for Human Development and Culture (Menko PMK) Muhadjir Effendy asked residents that the location of the earthquake in Cianjur Regency, West Java, not be used as a tourist spot. "I ask that this place not be used as a place for half a tourist. So visiting the earthquake place makes roads stuck. It disrupts the mobilization of the distribution of aid that we do," said Coordinating Minister Muhadjir after attending a coordination meeting with the Head of BNPB Lt. Gen. Suharyanto and the Head of BPOM Penny K. Lukito, at the Cianjur Regent's Office Hall, Wednesday, November 30, quoted from Antara. He asked residents who would review the location to be able to hold back and not come in crowds to the earthquake location in Cianjur Regency. "Yes, that's why, if this was done earlier, it would disrupt the mobilization of aid distribution that we will do," he said.

Previously, earthquake volunteers in Cianjur were upset by the actions of a number of people who recorded videos, took pictures, and even took selfies at locations affected by the earthquake. The actions of a number of people occurred in Longkewang Village, Gasol Village, Cugenang District, Cianjur Regency. Their "disaster traveling" hindered the handling of disasters in the area.
