The flood that hit dozens of villages in Grobogan Regency, Central Java, due to the breakdown of the Tuntang River embankment, also inundated Semarang-Surabaya railway houses, roads, and rail lines.
The Head of Prevention and Preparedness of the Grobogan BPBD, Masrikan, in Grobogan, Tuesday, January 21, confirmed that the Semarang-Surabaya railway line was affected by flooding.
"Not only inundated, but this railroad line has become a river flow, because the water is flowing fast," said Masrikan, quoted by ANTARA.
The rush of the flood flow also eroded the base of the railroad tracks in Papanrejo Village, Gubug District, so that the train could not pass the route.
In addition, the main road access on Jalan Godong-Grobogan is also completely paralyzed, vehicles cannot pass because they are flooded. The same thing happened on Jalan Purwodadi-Semarang, which was also affected by flooding. Residents who want to travel are asked to find a safer place.

PT KAI has also dispatched officers since Monday (20/1) night to return to the railroad runway. However, until Tuesday morning, the swift water from the Tuntang River runoff was still blocking the repair process.
