JAMBI - The Jambi Provincial Government (Pemprov) guarantees that students from their regions affected by the earthquake in Turkey have been evacuated to a safe province.

"The Jambi students who were studying there were also affected, but there were no injuries and lives, all of them were safe and had been evacuated at a safe location," said Head of the Basic Service Section of the Jambi Province People's Welfare Bureau Watni in Jambi, Friday, February 10, confiscated by Antara.

He admitted that he had not been able to communicate with them because of difficulties in signaling there because the telecommunications network had broken up. "It is not yet known what time it will arrive at the destination province," said Watni.

Responding to the question whether after the evacuation, the student would be sent back to Jambi, Watni said that he had not yet reached the conversation and was still placing students at a safe point first. "Later, for the advanced stage, we will communicate with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs first," he said.

Even though the Jambi Diaspora has been evacuated to a relatively safe location, the Jambi Provincial Government will still send a letter via the Jambi Liaison Agency in Jakarta to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Kemenlu) with the aim of seeking definite official data.

He admitted that the Jambi Provincial Government does not hold data on the exact number of students studying in Turkey because students only reported themselves when they graduated from college.

"When they left to study abroad they did not report to us, they communicated directly with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and only when they finished their report and for Jambi students who were in Syria who were also affected by the earthquake had not received further information," he said.
