TASIKMALAYA, Thecuy.com–When the rainy season arrives, floods often submerge many areas, including residential neighborhoods and roads in Tasikmalaya. Consequently, the city government is urged to improve infrastructure to prevent flooding.

The situation has drawn public attention, pushing the government to find effective solutions. Moreover, the problem keeps recurring as if it’s a routine every rainy season.

Idham Ansori, Secretary of PKC Jaringan Persatuan Asli Tasik Indonesia (JAPATI) of Tasikmalaya City, on Friday (13/11/2026). He urged Tasikmalaya Mayor Viman Alfarizi Ramadhan to be more serious and act swiftly to address the flooding issue that has long been a public complaint.

Idham believes the mayor’s direct inspection of flood-prone areas, such as Jalan Siliwangi in front of Siliwangi University (Unsil), is commendable. Nonetheless, the survey must be followed by concrete action.

Because, the flood-prone points in Tasikmalaya city are not limited to that area. Almost every region faces similar issues that require government attention.

“Visiting the site is good, but checking alone isn’t enough. The main problem is drainage that is far smaller than water volume. The channels are clearly too narrow. This long-standing issue keeps repeating and seems to be ignored,” Idham said.

He opined that flooding could be anticipated through careful planning and robust infrastructure management. Moreover, the flood-prone spots have been identified and repeatedly affected each rainy season.

“When handled seriously, this flood will be resolved. It won’t flood again. This is about the government’s seriousness,” he stressed.

Idham also cautioned the government not to act only when floods occur. In his view, preventive measures should be taken well before the rainy season, from assessing drainage capacity to repairing water channels.

He even thought the mayor’s performance was questionable if there was no significant improvement in flood handling in Tasikmalaya.

“If there is no change, then the mayor’s performance is questionable. Do not slack off during the dry season, then start working even in the rain when floods have already struck,” he said.
