The cane is surrounded by a height of 3,400 meters (11,150 ft) above the mountain top.
Officials have warned people to stay away from rocks and debris that fall down from the mountain. .

Is the time when the big explosion is close?
Fourth stage warning was issued at 6:00 am (22:00 GMT) on local time Sunday, due to "potential disaster and immediate danger".
The continuous gray particles can be seen from the volcano. The noise of the explosion is heard at 12 km (7 miles) from the mountain top
"At night, fire burners have been found to be high, and it shows the possibility of a big explosion."
Mark Tingke, geologist at the University of Adelaide, told the BBC that Acung Volcanic eruption reached the next stage of the evacuation
"It's hard to predict volcano eruptions, and no sort of situation will come."
"These explosions may be huge and terrible, and it may be a small explosion in comparison with time," he said.
Mark said that the Indonesian authorities had been preparing for months and they "kept the situation" under control.
The status of tourists
Bali is a major tourist attraction. Its other major places are Kutta and Semenyak, located about 70 km from the volcano. These are far from the drainage zone.
The Nagar Haveli airport of Bali has been closed till Tuesday due to the heavy gray particles. The airport officials said that 594 passengers will be affected by 445 flights canceled.
The Australian State and UK Department of Foreign Affairs has advised that it should be ready for canceled flights and to monitor local media and to listen to warnings of officials there.
China has also advised passengers to be alert.
The nearby Lombok Island Airport was reopened on Monday morning.
How do the local people cope?
In gray areas, officials are distributing masks. Furthermore, they have ordered that people out of the 10 km (six miles) of the exclusion zone around the mountain should leave.
Officials said 100,000 local residents had to leave but only 40,000 people had gone out.
Anna Baranova of the Copernic NGO, which helps the evacuates, said that people are providing the best masks and safety glasses.
Cold fire mixed with water can be found in fields and rivers near the volcano.
Chudopo Burovo Nogrooho, a representative of the National Disaster Management Authority, warned that these cold flames would be increased due to heavy rain and rocks would be evacuated from the Aung Mount.
He also urged him to stay away from it and do not take any action near the rivers.
Last September, officials issued warnings about the volcano eruption and evacuated people. In October, people returned home after warning.
During these large discharges, authorities have found that the island is likely to have a net loss of $ 110 million for tourism.
For over 50 years, last week, the volcano was first hit by the cane.
The tectonic plate in Indonesia and the Pacific is located at the place where it is referred to as the "circle of fire". That is why, there are continuous volcanoes and seismic activity.
There are 130 volcanoes in the extreme island of Indonesia.
In 1963, when Agung's mountain was rattled, more than a thousand died.
