1996 riot


The city of Tasikmalaya was the site of a widely reported riot in late December 1996. Four people were killed and several churches and dozens of mostly Chinese-owned businesses were destroyed in the violence, which was triggered by allegations of police brutality. It was also fueled and angered by frustration with allegedly corrupt local government officials.[10] The event was among the earliest of many riots with religion- and class-based undertones that occurred in Java during the late 1990s.[11]


Natural disasters


On 5 April 1982, the volcano of Gunung Galunggung erupted about 24 km from the city, causing major damage through lahar and ash projection, and forcing a temporary evacuation of the area.

On 2 September 2009 a magnitude 7 earthquake struck, destroying a number of buildings in the city and killing several people.[12]

On 26 June 2010, a magnitude 6.3 earthquake struck Tasikmalaya at 4:45pm Waktu Indonesia Barat (WIB). No injuries or destroyed buildings were reported.[13]

On 20 May 2012, a magnitude 5 earthquake struck. It happened at 07:37pm Waktu Indonesia Barat (WIB). No injuries or destroyed buildings were reported.[14]


Toll Road


A toll road was planned to be built in 2018 connecting Tasikmalaya and Bandung's Ring Road 2.[15]


Wiriadinata Airport


Wiriadinata Airport in Cibeureum (also called Cibeureum Airport) was solely a military airport, but on 9 June 2017 it became a military airport with a civil airport enclave. With its 1,200 metres runway, it can accommodate ATR 72-600 aircraft.[16]


Archeology


Several Idols of the Gods, including Ganesha were found at the banks of the Parit Galunggung river in 2020.[17]


Climate


Tasikmalaya has a tropical rainforest climate (Af) with heavy to very heavy rainfall year-round.
