The Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) stated that the provincial roads connect Padang and Bukittinggi via Malalak buried by landslide material in Balingka, Ampek Koto District, Agam Regency, West Sumatra (West Sumatra), Monday 24 November.

He said the landslide pile was 50-100 centimeters high and 15-20 meters long.
"We have coordinated with the provincial government regarding the landslide," said Abdul Ghapur.

For this reason, he appealed to residents to increase their vigilance when passing through areas prone to landslides and immediately evacuate when the water has risen.
