TANGERANG Three houses on Jalan Sari Mulya, Puri Serpong, Serpong, South Tangerang were damaged by landslides, Monday, July 8, at 19.30 WIB.

"Three contracts were affected. On the left, it was just built, plus one more door, eh, landslides," said South Tangerang City BPBD Head of Emergency and Logistics, Essa Nugraha, Monday, July 8.

Essa said that the landslide disaster was caused by rainfall and unstable soil structure.

"The temporary assumption is that the rainfall is quite high and the soil structure is unstable," he said.

Essa explained that this landslide also resulted in road access in the area being cut off due to the landslide hoarding.

"It resulted in the closure of road access from Kampung Sarimulya to Puri Serpong," he said.

Currently, the South Tangerang BPBD is cleaning up landslide material at the location.

"PLEASE the landslide material that covers the road access," he concluded.
