JAKARTA - Central Java Governor Ganjar Pranowo asked the public and stakeholders along the Bengawan Solo River to be alert. This is related to the potential for floods during the rainy season.

"We asked everyone to stand by, not only Bengawan Solo, but all rivers. For example, Cilacap, Banyumas, yesterday also stood by," he said in Semarang, reported by Antara, Tuesday, December 15.

Regarding the Bengawan Solo River which overflowed two days ago, Ganjar has asked stakeholders in Sukoharjo, Karanganyar and Wonogiri Districts to be alert.

According to him, if the flood disaster situation gets out of control, then what is prioritized is the strict application of health protocols in the refugee camps.

"I ask for tightening the protocol, follow the health protocol in the refugee camps, I ask to see the structuring model for Magelang Regency," he said.

The Bengawan Solo River overflowed after heavy rains flushed the Karanganyar Regency on Sunday, December 13 evening.

The overflow of the Bengawan Solo River caused dozens of houses in Kampung Daleman, Ngringo Village, Jaten District, Karanganyar, to be flooded, and even until Monday, December 14, the flood continued to spread and forced residents to flee to a safer place.
