Headline - A week already landslides death in Hamlet Village Jemblung Sampang, Banjarnegara, Central Java, occur. A small hamlet on the slopes this Dieng was suddenly popular, crowded.

How not, more than half the population was killed swallowed a catastrophic landslide on Friday evening, December 12, 2014. The houses were destroyed, tens of hectares of rice fields and fields disappear without trace.

"This is a profound tragedy for us left. The village and our family lost in an instant, everything was buried without his know what," said village chief Sampang Purwanto.

Appears thousands of catfish

According to several witnesses, deadly landslides is already showing some signs. However, many people are not ignored.

One of the most obvious sign is the initial landslide, a day before a massive landslide on Friday. However, because only hoard roads and not stray into the settlement, no refuge. In fact, they even watch the landslide material cleanup by TNI officers and Highways Department of Public Works of the Regional Government of Central Java.

The next sign is the appearance of thousands of catfish in the river that divides the village Jemblung. Recognition witnesses, late in the afternoon on Friday the disaster, there are people who managed to capture catfish in large quantities in the streams that irrigate the fields of citizens.

"That fish galore. Not quite the bucket. And usually when fishing, it is difficult not to play. Yet somehow, in all afternoon, a lot of catfish in the river," said village head Kalibening, Khodim, who claimed to get information the Hamlet of citizens Jemblung survivors.

Residents estimate, the emergence of these catfish likely run-off from the ground. Therefore, far away above the hamlet Jemblung, namely on the hill which is now in the spotlight Rapid Assessment Team Land Movement, there is a pool of 30 meters in diameter with a depth of 1 meter. This pool was already old. Residents call it the lake catfish.

"The lake has been used since. Named Catfish Ponds, because once there are many catfish. Residents estimate the emergence of hundreds of catfish is due to join the flow of water from the lake is down to below the hamlet," said Khodim.

water reservoirs

The phenomenon of the emergence of these catfish, is not many people know about it. Because, at noon in the afternoon, people mostly watch cleaning path buried by landslides at the end of the village.

Because it is only a handful of people who know. That, too, because they are accidental capture in fishing and river flow Jemblung Hamlet. "Just imagine those words can catfish, from 12:00 to 17:00 o'clock, lelenya endless. But this is just stripped after a disaster, why catfish appear suddenly in large quantities in the village," said Khodim.

Therefore, there is some speculation. One of the most plausible, said Khodim, the presence of water which becomes the connecting corridor between Hamlet Jemblung with Catfish Ponds are located on the hill which is now partly the material already covered village.

It was quite reasonable. Based saga name, Jemblung defined as a reservoir of water or large water container made of clay. Therefore, naturally is lembahan who is now a resident of the settlement, many found the flow of water on the hillside which then spilled down the hamlet.

"It could be a lot of water flow, the out-catfish catfish that is on top of the hill. Or it may be as well, water-water that makes the land fragile village so easy. So when the rain comes, landslides threaten definitely," said Khodim.

Now, in spite of it all. Disaster death Jemblung Hamlet, should be a lesson to all. That the real disaster can come anytime and to anyone. Both Khodim and Purwanto hope, there is a serious step from the local government to reduce the possibility of a similar disaster.


"We are ready principle any decision to be taken by the government of the existence of our village. We just want to live a quiet and still be able to meet our daily needs of the fields that exist in our village," said Purwanto.
