Head of the West Sumatra Provincial Secretariat's Welfare Bureau, Al Amin, added that preparations for the implementation of the Body Prayers have been completed. The plan is that the West Sumatra Police Chief Inspector General Gatot Tri Suryanta will directly lead the prayer imam, while the Grand Imam of the Great Mosque, Sheikh Ahmad Khatib Al Minangkabawi, West Sumatra, Rahimul Amin, will act as a prayer reader.
"The plan is for the implementation of the Body Prayers to be attended by all West Sumatra Forkopimda, ASN, and the police, as well as the general public," explained Al Amin.
The head of the West Sumatra Provincial Social Service (Dinsos), Syaifullah, explained that the 24 bodies that will be prayed for are unidentified victims, both their identities and families.
This mass burial step was the result of the decision of a joint meeting between the West Sumatra Social Service, Agam Social Service, Police Disaster Victim Identification (DVI), West Sumatra Police DVI, Bhayangkara Hospital, West Sumatra BPBD, and West Sumatra Health Service.
"The technical implementation and financing will be the responsibility of the West Sumatra Provincial Social Service," concluded Syaifullah.
