ACEH - A 120-meter suspension bridge that stretches across the Tadu River (Krueng) in Gunong Pungkie Village, Tadu Raya District, Nagan Raya Regency, Aceh Province, collapsed after being hit by floods.

"There have been no reports of people who have died in this natural disaster," said Acting Head of the Nagan Raya Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) Irfanda Rinadi, Thursday, March 6, as reported by Antara.

He explained that the suspension bridge that collapsed so far connected two villages, namely Gunong Pungki Village and Gunong Geuleugo Village in Tadu Raya District.

According to him, the suspension bridge was found to have collapsed on Wednesday, March 5 morning after residents who usually used the bridge as a means of transportation were surprised that the bridge had been damaged and could not be used.

The Nagan Raya BPBD personnel who received the report, he said, coordinated with related parties and visited the location to ascertain the impact of the damage caused.

"Currently, the technical team from the Nagan Raya PUPR Service together with BPBD friends are still at the scene," said Irfanda Rinaldi.

Irfanda said that due to the collapse of the 120-meter-long suspension bridge, community activities in the two villages had been disrupted.

The Nagan Raya Regency Government is still trying to determine the cause of the collapse of a suspension bridge in its area, as well as taking steps to detain it due to natural disasters.
