JAKARTA - Acting Governor of West Java (Jabar) Bey Machmudin said efforts to compensate for damaged houses in Cluster Visalia due to the explosion of the Regional Munisi/Amuniciary Warehouse (Gud cheap) Kodam Jaya Ciangsana, Bogor Regency, still needed time.

He said compensation for damage to houses in Cluster Visalia, Cibubur Tourism City must go through a deal mechanism first.

Houses in Cluster Visalia suffered damage to the impact of the cheap Gud explosion on March 31, 2024. It has been a month since the incident, the compensation effort has not been realized.

Bey said the compensation effort was prioritized for houses in the affected villages around the blast site.

"Regarding the explosion of the cheap Guddam Jaya in Ciangsana, Bogor Regency, what is prioritized is the affected village community, because community groups (Pokmas) can directly do it," said Bey.

Bey admitted that he had instructed the Regional Secretary of West Java Province Herman Suryatman to move quickly to coordinate with related parties to resolve efforts to compensate houses affected by the Gud cheap explosion.

"I have ordered the West Java Provincial Secretary to immediately coordinate and find the best solution to deal with and resolve this problem," he said.
