Cianjur - The Cianjur Police together with joint officers are trying to reopen the southern Cianjur route, specifically in the Cibinong-Sindangbarang District, which was temporarily cut off due to two electricity poles collapsing due to landslides.
Cibinong Police Chief AKP Roni Romdon said two PLN electricity poles collapsed and closed the road in Sukajadi Village, Cibinong District, so that traffic flow from the south to Cianjur and vice versa was completely stopped. The collapse of the pole also caused the power supply to be cut off.
"The collapsed electricity pole is in Sukajadi Village, Cibinong District, so the traffic flow is temporarily cut off. Currently, rapid handling is being carried out with joint officers, including from PLN," said Roni in Cianjur, Antara, Sunday, January 11.
He explained that the incident occurred after heavy rain accompanied by strong winds hit the southern Cianjur area since morning.
The extreme weather conditions triggered a landslide around the location, until finally two electricity poles that were not too far apart collapsed and closed the road access.
However, Roni ensured that there were no casualties or vehicles hit by electricity poles, because at the time of the incident, traffic flow on the line was relatively quiet.
"The joint officers are still making rapid handling efforts so that traffic flows return to normal from both directions. Until this afternoon, the handling is still ongoing and no motorists have been allowed to pass to anticipate undesirable things," he said.
He appealed to the public and drivers not to force themselves to cross before the handling process was completely complete. In addition to the closed road, it is feared that there are still active power flows that can endanger safety.
Roni also reminded that a number of points along the main southern Cianjur route are prone to natural disasters, such as landslides and fallen trees, especially during heavy rain accompanied by strong winds.
"Motorists are asked to remain vigilant when crossing the southern lane because heavy rain accompanied by strong winds is still occurring throughout the day and can trigger disasters," he said.
The police target the handling can be completed before nightfall so that traffic flows return to normal, especially the volume of vehicles heading towards Cianjur began to increase as the long school holidays ended.
