Trenggalek, E Java (Antara)- Flash floods triggered by incessant heavy rains inundated several villages in the Trenggalek District, East Java Province, as the local rivers overflowed. Floodwaters reaching a height of up to an adult's hip paralyzed regular activities of the local villagers, Dimas, a local resident of the Gandusari sub-district, stated here on Friday. The overflowing Tawing River caused flooding in a traditional market located between the Gandusari and Kampak sub-districts.
