CIREBON - A total of six houses were badly damaged and four lightly damaged due to soil movement that occurred in Ciwaringin Village, Cirebon Regency, West Java.
"Six houses were badly damaged, and four others were lightly damaged," said Head of Ciwaringin Village, Ciwaringin District, Cirebon Regency, Wawan Gunawan, quoted by Antara, Monday, March 7.
Wawan said that the movement of land that occurred in his village was not the only time, but for years, so that several families lost their homes.
According to him, residents have reported the incident to the local government, but so far there has been no realization to overcome it.
The movement of the ground, continued Wawan, will get worse when the rainy season enters, because the river water overflows and causes the soil to become unstable.
"When the rainy season arrives, the residents' houses will be badly damaged," he said.
Meanwhile, the owner of the house, Nani, admitted that part of her house has now been razed to the ground, such as two rooms, a kitchen and a bathroom.
According to him, the river around where he lives is also approaching, which used to be more than 50 meters away, now it is behind the house.
"So if it rains there will be the sound of the ground cracking. And my house was damaged just a few days ago," he said.
