Village turns red after flood hits batik factory

A village in Indonesia has been inundated by blood-red water after flooding hit a local batik factory. Batik is a traditional Indonesian method of using wax to resist water-based dyes to depict patterns and drawings, usually on fabric. The head of Pekalongan disaster relief confirmed the incident, saying ’The red flood is due to the batik dye, which has been hit by the flood.’
