inp.polri.go.id - East Java. Kediri Sub-regional Police, the Indonesian National Military (TNI), and locals in Wonorejo Trisulo Village are building bronjong, a woven wire to stabilize the soil, following the overflowing water due to heavy rain on January 29th.

Head of Kediri Sub-regional Police Chief, Superintendent Bimo Aryanto explains that the activity is a collaboration with the public in mitigating the disaster. The building of bronjong hopefully can hold the water and anticipate the overflowing water in the river.

“These floods have become our attention and makes us build this brojong to hold the water from the bridge,” says Bimo on Monday (2/3/2025).

Due to heavy rain and water overflow, the residents suffered a great loss as many of them are pineapple farmers.

“With the building of this brojong, we hope that this could protect and strengthen the land structure so it would not continue to erode during floods," concluded Bimo.
