Majalengka's communications and information office moved to address an accident allegedly caused by a broken provider cable stretched across Girimukti Road.

The incident involved a resident of Jatisawit village in Dawuan district who was reportedly traveling home from work when the accident occurred. The Majalengka regency government then invited the Association of Telecommunications Network Providers, known as APJATEL, to clarify the situation and coordinate action.
