BOGOR - Fish in the Cileungsi River, Bogor Regency, West Java, died suddenly suspected of being due to being polluted by B3 waste. Cileungsi Cikeas River Care Community (KP2C) said that fish began stranded on the riverbanks on Thursday morning until Friday 7 April morning. The head of KP2C, Puarman revealed that around the Klapunggal Leuwikaret Bridge, on Wednesday, April 5, no dead fish were found yesterday. However, the next day in the Wika Bridge, Tlajung Udik, the community found a lot of dead fish. "But today, Puarman is no longer found dead," said Puarman, Saturday, April 8 afternoon. Likewise at the Cikuda Bridge, Wanaherang, it was observed on Wednesday, April 5, at 23.00 WIB, the quality of the river water was in normal condition and no dead fish were found. Today at 02.00 WIB, many drunk and dead fish were found floating on the surface of the water. Then in the Bumi Mutiara Blok Ji Housing, Kab. Bogor, on Thursday, at 11.00 WIB, many fish were found dead. The following day, Friday, at 10.00, also so. Many fish died and floated. Residents reported that, at the Vila Nusa Indah - Bantar Gebang Bridge, Base 1, on Thursday afternoon many fish died. Friday at 10.00, many fish remain dead.

Puarman suspects that the source of liquid waste pollution in the Cileungsi River occurred between the Leuwikaret bridge, Klapanunggal and the Wika bridge, Tlajung Udik.
