After the cleanup activity, some of other points had already sprayed disinfectant liquid on Sunday (1/5) morning, except RW 13 where the inundation could only be overcome in the afternoon.
"In RW 13, it will be done after cleanup activity is done. We are still monitoring whether there are still garbage or not. The clean ones are the school and village office," he stated.
