It's Been Raining Since Sunday, 1 Resident's House In Nayu Barat Village Solo Collapses

SOLO - One house in RT 02/RW 13, Nayu Barat Village, Nusukan Village, Banjarsari District, Solo, Central Java collapsed due to heavy rains that occurred on Sunday, May 8.

The owner of the house, Tri Martono, said that the part of the house that collapsed was in the room his son usually occupied.

"There are two rooms, I have my child. But I am grateful that there were no victims, my child happened to be not at home", he said in Solo, Antara, Monday, May 9.

He admitted that he knew the moment when the foundation of the house collapsed at around 16.00 WIB.

"I did monitor with my friends because the foundation had been destroyed below. Yesterday it was raining heavily, the water from Kalianyar was huge", he said.

Regarding the risk of collapse, he had actually reported it to the government four years ago. He hopes that soon the government can provide repair assistance.

"There is also a meeting building for residents, which is slowly being eroded", he said.

Regarding this, the Mayor of Solo, Gibran Rakabuming Raka, said that he would immediately find a solution for the residents. However, he made sure not to build in the same location.

"Yes, don't build on the banks of the river. We will discuss the problem later. The canal must also be repaired, the main thing is that we evaluate it first. We will find a solution later because if it is like this, it is very risky", he said.

He also said that it was necessary to control the houses on the banks of the river because they had a fairly high risk. "We have to control it, the risk is big, we will blame later. There needs to be an arrangement on the banks of the river", he said.
