Indonesian volcano erupts after four centuries

An Indonesian volcano erupted after almost four centuries of dormancy and the volcano with towering clouds evacuated more than 21,000 people .The ashes caused poor visibility and therefore, the airplanes had to be diverted.

People living along the slope of mountain have been shifted to nearby places in mosques, churches and other emergency shelters. Previously the volcano erupted in 1600 and it started blasting on Sunday.
