11 Landslides Occurred In Rimbo Kejahan Kejahan Pasaman Barat, Jalan From Simpang Empat-Talu Total Cut.

PASAMAN BARAT - Around 11 landslide points occurred in Rimbo Kejahan Kajai, Talamau District, West Pasaman Regency, West Sumatra, causing traffic flow from the Empat-Talu Intersection to be completely cut off.

"Currently the team is clearing the landslide material that occurred on Monday, February 28 night. In addition, there is one point of the road that almost broke because it collapsed so that vehicles cannot go through that road," said the Commander of the West Pasaman Disaster Emergency Response Command Post, Lieutenant Colonel Kav. Hery Bakty at Simpang Empat, West Pasaman, Tuesday.

According to him, currently a joint team from the TNI, Polri, the Public Works and Spatial Planning Service and others are trying to clean up the landslide material.

Especially for roads that are broken, the team will try to make emergency roads so that traffic can flow smoothly again.

"The landslide occurred due to high rainfall in Talamau District on the evening of Monday, February 28. There were no casualties but road access was cut off," he said.

He appealed to the public to continue to increase vigilance with the threat of further landslides.

This is because, he said, currently the rainfall is still high and it is feared that there will be further landslides. Meanwhile, the Head of the West Pasaman Public Works and Spatial Planning Service, Jon Edwar, said that his party is currently trying to clean up landslide materials using heavy equipment.

"There have been three landslide points that have opened until 14.00 WIB. The other one cannot because the asphalt road is almost broken," he said.

The Rimbo Crime area is an area that was affected by an earthquake some time ago. Roads and hills around the road also have a lot of landslides and crashes.
