PAMEKASAN - The electricity in a number of sub-districts in Pamekasan Regency, East Java, was disrupted. This is due to heavy rain and strong winds that took place on Saturday, November 19.
As a result of this extreme weather, a number of trees collapsed and caused several power lines to be cut off. One of the power lines that were extinguished due to being disturbed by trees was the floating seller on Jalan Raya Bazar, Pamekasan.
As a result of this disruption, electricity in a number of points in Pamekasan District has been extinguished since around 06.30 WIB and until 11.00 WIB it is still ongoing.
There were also a number of other sub-districts, such as in Pademawu, Larangan, Kadur, Waru, Pakong, and Pasean sub-districts.
"Until now, we have continued to make improvements in tracing the power outages reported to have experienced blackouts," said Head of the PLN's Customer Service Unit (ULP) Manager, Pamekasan Agung Setyobudi, as quoted by Antara, Saturday, November 19.
Heavy rain accompanied by strong winds occurred since around 05.00 WIB and caused trees and tree branches to break.
The Coordinator of the Rapid Response Team (TRC) of the Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) of Pamekasan Regency, Budi Cahyono, said that heavy rain accompanied by strong winds this time was evenly distributed in all sub-districts.
"The severe thing based on the temporary report of field officers is in Pamekasan District," he said.
