PURWOKERTO - The Banjarnegara Resort Police, Central Java, has sterilized and processed the crime scene (TKP) following an alleged gas leak at the drilling well of the Dieng Geothermal Power Plant (PLTP).

"The team from the Banjarnegara Police have immediately localized and carried out sterilization," said Banjarnegara Police Chief, AKBP Hendri Yulianto, in his official statement, as reported by Antara, Saturday, March 12.

Henry's statement was made after nine people were suspected of having inhaled toxic gas while preparing to drill at the PAD 28 Geo Dipa well. This condition occurred because it was suspected that there was a leaking pipe, resulting in the release of H2S gas from the well.

The gas that is released is believed to have been inhaled by nine workers, causing them to experience convulsions, shortness of breath and vomiting. In this incident, it was reported that one person died while at the Kejajar Health Center and had not been referred to the KRT Soetjonegoro Hospital, Wonosobo.

"Currently the team (from the Banjarnegara Police) is still investigating the crime scene, and we will update further developments soon," said Hendri.

Hendri added that at this time his party had also directly checked the condition of the victims who were being treated at the KRT Setjonegoro Hospital, Wonosobo.

As previously reported, the Banjarnegara BPBD Head of Emergency and Logistics, Andri Sulistyo, said that the PAD 28 well is located in Pawuhan Hamlet, Karangtengah Village, Batur District.

"From the information obtained that there are nine workers who are preparing to drill at the PAD 28 Geo Dipa well, then it is suspected that H2S gas came out of the well which caused workers to experience shortness of breath and vomit, and caused one person to die," said Andri.

As soon as he received a report from the field, Andri confirmed that his team had immediately rushed to the location and collected data on victims at the Wonosobo Hospital. Andri also asked the public not to panic, because at this time the conditions were safe and under control.

"People should also not easily believe news that is not yet clear, or disinformation or hoaxes. Look for information from reliable sources," said Andri.
