ACEH TENGAH - The head of the Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) of Central Aceh, Andalika, said that there were still eight villages isolated due to the impact of disasters in the area.

He said that at the beginning of the disaster there were a total of 101 isolated villages and now there are only eight villages.

"The eight villages are isolated because the bridge is broken and there is no material that can connect the road," he said as reported by ANTARA, Friday, February 20.

The eight villages are Bergang, Pantardog, and Karangampar in Ketol District, as well as Lingge, Jamat, Dulung Sekinel, Rejepayung, and utinrejo in Lingge District.

"Our brothers there are still isolated, only accessible by two-wheeled vehicles. But the assistance and participation of community elements does not stop there even though the access is difficult," said Andalika.

According to him, the Central Aceh Government is working together with the BPBD to try to open access to the roads to the isolated villages as much as possible.
