The Central Board of Nahdlatul Ulama (PBNU) has urged the government to more serious in dealing with both floods and landslides.
"The government should be serious in handling the happening disaster. That is why president should summon leaders of the disaster-affected regions to seek solutions for the disasters in the country," General Chairman of the PBNU KH Hasyim Muzadi said here on Wednesday (02/01). <<>;br />
Hasyim was of view that the government's performance had yet to maximally anticipate and deal with disaster victims in Indonesia especially landslides and floods in Central Java and East Java.
By summoning the regional leaders, he said, the president was expected to be able to seek brilliant solutions in anticipating disasters and handling the victims.
Related to the handling of victims, PBNU has instructed chairman of the East Java's Nahdlatul Ulama Regional Board (PWNU) Ali Maschan Musa to immediately take strategic measures.
Landslides and the overflowing of Java's longest river, the Bengawan Solo, which crosses the two provinces for instance, continue to pose threats for local residents.
Tens of thousands evacuated their homes as floods reached the East Java town of Gresik, one of the last towns passed by the 600-kilometer Bengawan Solo.
The river starts in the hills above the Central Java town of Wonogiri and since last week it has flooded neighboring towns including Surakarta and Bojoneoro in East Java, with the latter being the hardest hit to-date.
A few elderly residents in Bojonegoro said this was the worst flooding since 1966. The area along the river has become increasingly populated. (mad)
