NTB - The Mataram SAR team evacuated three people who got lost in the forest area of Sekotong District, West Lombok Regency.

"The three victims from Mataram City were found safe," said Head of the Mataram SAR Office Lalu Wahyu Efendi in Mataram, West Nusa Tenggara (NTB), Monday, September 4, confiscated by Antara.

The incident began when the victims entered the forest for a tour or stay on Sunday, September 3 night. However, unfortunately the victims got lost on their way through the forest.

Then the Mataram SAR Office received a report from one of the victims on behalf of Suartha Putra (25) who got lost in the forest with two friends, Sahrun (38) and Budi (28) while traveling to Terune Beach Semalem, the local area.

For about five hours they tried to find a way out, but it didn't work. Requests for evacuation assistance were forwarded to related parties.

"We immediately dispatched a rescue team for search and evacuation, also avoiding worse conditions, such as hypothermia," he said.

Also involved elements from the TNI, Polri, Pokdarwis Sekotong, local residents, and potential SAR in the West Lombok region.

"The victims have been handed over to the family," he said.

He also appealed to the public to be careful in carrying out activities, so that unwanted things do not happen.

"If there are residents who want to travel, they should remain careful and know the location, so they don't get lost," he said.
