Garut Police appealed to road users to be more vigilant when crossing the Garut-Singaparna district route, more precisely in the Cilawu area, Garut Regency, West Java. This is because there are indications of landslide hazards due to rainfall.
"We urge you to be more vigilant for motorists in the event of heavy rain on the Garut-Singaparna route because it is prone to landslides," said Head of the Garut Police Traffic Unit Iptu Aang Andi Suhandi in Garut, quoting ANTARA on Sunday, June 29.
He said the Cilawu route is a provincial road that connects Garut Regency with Tasikmalaya Regency in the Singaparna region.
The path, which contains cliffs and ravines, he said, has the potential for landslides that can cause the road to be covered by landslide materials.
As has just happened, continued Aang, landslides in Cilawu, Saturday, June 28 caused the road to be closed so that motorized vehicles could not be crossed from both directions.
"Alhamdulillah, the condition of the Garut-Tasikmalaya route through the Cilawu route is now normal, only a little material on the edge is being completed by the provincial PUPR," he said.

He said heavy rains with high intensity and lasted for a long time had caused landslides in the Cilawu area to divert the flow of vehicles at that time to avoid congestion.
Regarding other areas in Garut that were affected by landslides, he said, while it was reported that no one had closed the national, provincial, and district roads, even so, their staff remained alert to deal with areas that were hampered by traffic flow due to landslides.
"We, from the Garut Police Traffic Unit, are especially on standby to anticipate if there are things that are not cold," he said.
Previously, the rain that flushed the Garut area on Saturday (28/6) in the early hours of the morning until late at night in a number of Garut areas caused landslides and floods in several sub-districts.
