BALI - Three project workers were buried in a landslide in Ungasan Village, South Kuta District, Badung Regency, Bali, Friday, January 23. Two of them were declared dead when they arrived at Udayana Hospital.
"We immediately evacuated using an excavator in the search for the victims, one person was safe, and two people died," said the Head of the Denpasar Search and Rescue Office, I Nyoman Sidakarya, in his statement, Sunday, January 25.
According to him, the joint SAR team from Basarnas, TNI, and Polri had difficulty in the steep terrain while evacuating the victims, so they had to use an excavator.
The soil conditions around the location of the incident are still unstable and have caused several cracks. With safety considerations, heavy equipment was deployed.
Although heavy equipment is operating, it is still under the supervision of the rescue team. The dredging is done slowly, and gradually, because it is feared that vibrations may occur that allow for a subsequent landslide.
The victims who died were named Shohibul Hasan and Farhan. The bodies of the two were taken to Prof Ngoerah Denpasar Hospital, Bali. Meanwhile, the survivor, Muhammad Waki, is being treated at Udayana Hospital.
