The bridge in East Lombok Regency, West Nusa Tenggara (NTB) was cut off due to heavy water coming out of the dam in the area.

"It was not strong enough to hold so heavy water that the bridge broke or broke," said East Lombok Regional Secretary HM Juani Taofik in Selong, NTB, Tuesday, November 15.

The landslide of the bridge to the Ulem-ulem tourist destination in Tete Batu Village disturbed residents' activities. The two hamlets connected by the bridge, namely Orong Gerisak and the New Environment, were also affected.

Even so, Juani ensured that this disaster did not cause any injuries to the death of the world. "There are no fatalities," he added.

Due to this incident, Juani coordinated the response with BPBD, the sub-district head and the local village government. This effort, he continued, was so that the activities of the affected residents could return to normal.

"The current condition is that the road cannot be passed, so a temporary closure is carried out," he said.

With this incident, his party appealed to the public to remain vigilant about the impact of natural disasters that can be caused by the potential for rain with a fairly high intensity during the current rainy season.

"We urge our residents to remain vigilant about the impact of extreme weather, such as floods and landslides," he said.
