PADANG - Andalas University (Unand) West Sumatra straightened out information related to the incident of 17 students of the campus' real work college program (KKN) who were initially suspected of being lost in the Pauh Sangik forest area, Akabiluru District, Limapuluh Kota Regency.

"Uni ini Unand menyampaikan klarifikasi resmi bahwa informasi tersebut tidak benar," kata Sekretaris Unand Aidinil Zetra di Kota Padang, Antara, Jumat, 1 Agusus.

The student activity is part of the official nagari government program, namely conducting a survey and mapping the potential of coffee plantations in the nagari area on Thursday, July 31.

The program is a form of synergy between the nagari government and universities in supporting the development of local potentials in a sustainable manner.

All stages of activities have been well coordinated, including the involvement of field supervisors (DPL) who actively assist students.

He said the presence of DPL was an important part of the academic process and community service carried out by KKN students in the field.

During the activity, students are also accompanied by nagari devices and local security elements to ensure the smoothness, comfort, and security of the entire process.

"The situation in the field is also under control and has never been out of control," he said.

Regarding the delay in the return of students who had caused concern, this was due to a minor incident, namely the leg of a student who sprained during the survey. However, this condition was also immediately handled by providing first aid and short rest.

The field supervisor and team from the Data and Coordination Center (PDK) Technical Implementation Unit (UPT) immediately went to the location that night to ensure the safety of all participants.

"Alhamdulillah, all students have returned to the nagari office in good health and safety. No students have disappeared as information is circulating," he said.

On a separate occasion, the SAR Post Coordinator for Limapuluh Kota Roni Nur said the joint search and rescue team managed to find 24 people who had lost contact in Pauh Sangik forest, Akabiluru District, Limapuluh Kota Regency, West Sumatra safely on Friday, at 00.40 WIB.
