Disaster-affected Residents In Central Tapanuli Can Return To Using Communication Devices

TAPANULI TENGAH, NORTH SUMATRA - Pemerintah berusaha untuk mempercepat pemulihan jaringan komunikasi bagi para warga terdampak bencana di Sumatra untuk berbagai kabar saling.

The ease of communication makes the refugees feel calmer while living temporarily in refugee posts. This was acknowledged by Nur Asia Pasaribu, one of the flood refugees at the Pandan Sports Hall, Central Tapanuli, Tuesday, December 2.

Nur said that when the incident occurred on Wednesday morning last week, the electricity went out and the communication network was cut off. He had difficulty informing his relatives in Sibolga.

The government has distributed dozens of Starlink communications devices to a number of disaster points in Aceh, North Sumatra, and West Sumatra, including in Central Tapanuli and other isolated areas due to cut road access.

In addition, the affected residents also hope that the government can immediately repair houses damaged by the disaster.
