Bandung Police and the joint SAR Team are still carrying out evacuation efforts, including registering with certainty the victims of the collision of two commercial trains on the Haurpugur-Cicalengka rail line, Bandung Regency, West Java, Friday, December 5. The Head of Public Relations of the Bandung Police, Ibrahim Tompo, said that the location of the current collision had been blocked by the police because it had become a spectacle for residents. "We hope that this is not a common area, which is a spectacle for the public, let alone approaching the crime scene. The current position at this crime scene still has a vulnerability to accidents caused by the collapse of equipment at the crime scene, so it is hoped that people will not approach the crime scene. Now we have put personnel there to block," explained Tompo at the location of the train collision as reported by Kompas TV, Friday, December 5. Ibrahim also asked residents not to enter the collision area, let alone just take pictures. He also appealed to photos related to accidents that showed that the victim's condition was not distributed. "Because this is not only a concern for the victims, it is also very inappropriate to spread it," said Ibrahim. Asked further about how long the evacuation lasted, Ibrahim could not confirm.

"We can carry out the evacuation as soon as possible but depending on the existing conditions. How to evacuate the equipment or carriages that have been activated, so that indeed for the existing victims, several carriages must be withdrawn first for a time we hope to be done as soon as possible," he explained.
