Landslide Buries Three Houses on Menoreh

Triggered by incessant heavy rains, the landslide occurred at seven points and forced 37 families to evacuate to safer places, the head of the Nahdlatul Ulama disaster mitigation task force's Magelang chapter, Chabibullah, said here on Monday.

The landlside had also cut off several roads leaving three villages - Tegalombo, Sumbersari and Selorejo - isolated.

The disaster did not claim any human life but killed more than ten livestock.

A public graveyard was also buried by the landslide.

Mean while, floods inundated hundreds of hectares of farming areas at several villages in Banyumas, Kalibagor and Patikraya subdistricts, in Banyumas District, Central Java Province, on Monday.

The floods had been triggered by the overflowing of Serayu River since Sunday (Jan 1), Sarwito, a local resident of Kalisube village, said here, Monday.

The floodwaters reaching a height of between 0.5 and 1 meter, inundated rice and corn fields.
