The joint officers completed the handling of a 100-meter long landslide with a height of 3 meters which closed the connecting road between sub-districts in Wangunjaya Village, Cugenang District, Cianjur.

"To anticipate further landslides, we are coordinating with the relevant agencies to install a retaining wall at the bottom of a rice field cliff prone to landslides, especially when it rains again with an intensity of more than two hours," said Cianjur BPBD Chief Executive Asep Sukma Wijaya when contacted Monday, December 4, confiscated by Antara.

Even though it is normal to pass from both directions, Asep still asks motorists and local residents to remain careful when passing, especially when it rains heavily because the 30 meter high rice cliff is prone to landslides again.

"Various countermeasures will be carried out with the relevant agencies, but vigilance and caution must still be increased because most areas of Cianjur are starting to rain with high intensity almost every day," he said.

Previously, the Cianjur Regency BPBD deployed one unit of heavy equipment and two dump trucks to reopen the connecting road between sub-districts which were covered by landslides of 100 meters in Wangunjaya Village, Cugenang District.

Head of BPBD Cianjur Asep Sukma Wijaya said the landslide occurred after heavy rains hit most of the Cianjur area, Saturday, December 2, causing landslide cliffs to close the road.

"Longsoran in the form of mud and large trees covered the entire 100 meter long road with an avalanche height of about 3 meters, so we immediately sent heavy equipment to get rid of landslide material because it was difficult to do manually," he said.

On Sunday, December 3, most of the landslide material had been successfully removed but the traffic flow had not been able to run normally because of the long landslides that closed the road, his party targets that by evening vehicles can be passed alternately.
