According to residents, flash floods triggered by the breakdown of the hauling road, specially built to transport mining materials belonging to PT Bumanik around Bridge 6, which was unable to withstand heavy rainwater. The overflow of water mixed with mud hit the settlement, submerged the village's main road, and caused severe damage.
Governor Anwar emphasized that the public should not continue to be victims due to mining activities that ignore environmental sustainability.
