JAKARTA - A total of 103 vehicles of various types are currently stuck on the Trans Papua road, the Jayapura-Wamena road section, due to a natural disaster in the area.
"It is true that as many as 103 vehicles from both Jayapura and Wamena are currently stuck in 25 landslide points due to high rainfall," said the Government and Business Entity Cooperation Commitment Officer (PPK-KPBU) for the Trans Papua Road Jayapura-Wamena, Febryan Nurdiansyah, reported by ANTARA, Thursday, February 12.
He said that of the 103 vehicles that were trapped, 15 vehicles were still buried in landslides, so his team tried to remove and evacuate the vehicles.
The vehicle that was trapped and buried in the landslide, he continued, was in the Yalimo Regency area.
Of the 15 vehicles buried in the landslide, five of them have been successfully evacuated.
"There were no casualties in the incident that occurred on Saturday (7/2) and Sunday (8/2) due to landslides at 25 points. However, one cross drainage or cross drainage and the Kill Bridge were washed away," said Febryan.
Currently, all drivers and vehicle crew have been evacuated, after the vehicle they were traveling in was parked in a safe location.
To clean the road that was buried by the landslide material, his party deployed 57 heavy equipment, both excavators and bulldozers.
"Road cleaning continues but vehicles cannot continue their journey to Wamena, because the bridge across the Kill River is cut off by being carried away by the water," said Febryan.
