BANDUNG - Bad weather in West Bandung Regency caused floods and landslides at several points.
Reported by ANTARA, Thursday, December 4, the flood occurred in the Cibitung River in Mukapayung Village, Cililin District, which caused the Mount Putri Curugan Valley tourist attraction to be submerged by water mixed with mud.
In addition, about five hectares of rice fields caused by residents on the river side were also flooded by the swift current of the river.
"That's right, there is an overflow of water to the tourist attraction of the Curugan Valley. Its position is right on the riverbank, and the high intensity of rain makes the water overflow quickly, submerging the tourist area," said West Bandung BPBD Chief Executive Asep Sehabudin.
Asep explained that based on the results of the initial assessment, the impact of flash floods was the main focus on tourist areas and agricultural land around the river.
"Tourism objects are submerged. For rice fields, actually the land has been acquired and became an asset of Indonesia Power (IP), but residents are still working on it. Currently, we are recording the total area affected," he said.
BPBD ensures that the overflow of the Cibitung River does not threaten residential areas, because it is relatively far from the riverbank.
The public is still asked to increase vigilance considering the potential for hydrometeorological disasters is still high during the rainy season.
In addition to flooding, bad weather also caused landslides in the Cililin and Sindangkerta sub-districts, West Bandung.
In Cililin, landslides are informed to hoard roads in the fairly large Nanggerang Village area which causes four-wheeled cars or vehicles to not be able to cross the fall of the land. Meanwhile, two wheels must force them to the shoulder of the road.
Landslides also occurred in Cigagak Village, Buninagara Village, Sindangkerta District, covering the total body of the location.
