A
landslide took place again in Banjarnegara regency, Central Java, on Thursday evening in Duren village, Pagedongan district. No casualties were reported in the incident, but around 100 residents took shelter in the neighboring village.
Casualties were prevented because the village administration and residents had evacuated after seeing signs of cracks appearing.
The landslide took place on a 50-meter cliff located over a settlement in Karangjengking hamlet, Duren village. Residents had been aware of the crack since Jan. 19. The Banjarnegara Disaster Mitigation Agency (BPBD) has urged local residents not to return home for the sake of their safety.
'We don't want to take the risk. We have evacuated residents living in landslide-prone areas to residents' homes in safer areas,' said Banjarnegara BPBD acting head Catur Subandrio on Friday.
