Magelang

On April 4, the groom, whose identity has not been disclosed, used Google Maps to get to his wedding venue in Magelang, a city in Central Java.

Local authorities on Thursday evacuated more than 500 people living on the mountain in Magelang district on Java Island.

Edy Susanto, a local disaster mitigation agency official, said about 300 people from two villages, mostly the elderly, pregnant women and children, were taken to emergency shelters in Central Java’s Magelang district.

But the signal was weak and they returned to their spot on the roadside, said Teara, a student at Muhammadiyah University of Magelang.

National Disaster Mitigation Agency spokesman Sutopo Purwo Nugroho says rescuers retrieved the bodies of eight men and rescued eight other workers buried in the landslide Monday in the Central Java district of Magelang.
