JAKARTA - The provincial road from Simpang Empat to Talamau District, West Pasaman Regency, West Sumatra (Sumbar), specifically in the Polong Anam area, again collapsed on Friday, December 19.

"After a while it was banned (longsorm, - ed), today it was banned again and it got wider, causing almost half of the asphalt road body to be rotten," said the Acting Village Head (Village Head) of Tabek Sirah, Talamau District, Talamau, Friday, quoted by Antara.

According to him, in addition to the ban, the asphalt road near the location has many cracks and is feared to collapse and threaten motorists who pass through the road.

"Currently, four-wheel and two-wheel vehicles can still pass through the road very carefully because there are ravines and cliffs on both sides of the road," he said.

Meanwhile, four-wheeled vehicles that are large in size or dump trucks do not dare to pass through the road.

"This condition must be a concern for the Provincial Government of West Sumatra because if it is left, the road will be wider and can make access completely cut off," he said.

His party also hopes that heavy equipment will be deployed to open access roads because currently the distribution of food for nagari in Talamau District is underway.

Talamau District is one of the districts affected by the natural disaster late last November.

In addition to flooding and landslides, a number of road points leading to Talamau were cut off, such as in Rimbo Kejatahan Kanai and Pasanggiang Talau.

"Currently, the two broken road points can be passed by vehicles. Regarding the landslide point or the road that is blocked, we continue to coordinate with the provincial government for handling," said Deputy Regent of West Pasaman M.Ihpan.
