CIANJUR - The main road connecting Bandung-Cianjur, West Java, precisely in Pasirkuda District, Cianjur, can be passed alternately. Efforts to remove avalanche material are still hampered by heavy equipment.

Secretary of BPBD Cianjur, Rudi Wibowo said efforts to reopen roads that were covered by landslides along 50 meters with a height of 1.5 meters were still using manual tools so that it was quite difficult for officers and volunteers.

"Joint officers, assisted by local residents, are still trying to reopen the road runway that was covered by landslides while waiting for heavy equipment to arrive. On Thursday evening, vehicles can take turns, but drivers are advised to be careful," he said, quoted by Antara, Thursday, April 21.

His party is still waiting for coordination from the relevant agencies to lower the heavy equipment to the location so that the route can be passed normally from both directions. However, his party still urges the use of roads to be extra careful and alert because the rainfall is still high.

"We are trying within the next few days, the main route connecting the district and three villages in Pasirkuda, can already be passed. We will take temporary measures so that the 30-meter high cliff does not return to landslides," he said.

Previously, the connecting road between districts in Giri Mukti Village, Pasirkuda District, Cianjur, was temporarily cut off due to a landslide, so that the road to Bandung or vice versa to Cianjur could not be passed by vehicles.

The landslide occurred after heavy rains with an intensity of more than two hours caused a 30-meter-high cliff to collapse blocking a 50-meter-long road with a height of 1.5 meters.

As a result, the main road connecting the village and the district cannot be passed by two-wheeled or four-wheeled vehicles, temporarily cut off road access. Joint officers together with residents, assisted by TNI/Polri officers, are trying to reopen the road.
