The main route connecting Sukabumi and Palabuhanratu, precisely in Pasirsuren Village, Tonjong Village, Palabuhanratu District, Sukabumi Regency, West Java, can finally be passed by vehicles. This route was previously buried by landslides and could not be passed by vehicles. Head of the Sukabumi Regency BPBD Emergency Sub-Coordinator, Medi Abdul Hakim, said the successful evacuation of landslide material was carried out thanks to the cooperation of a joint team from the National Police, TNI, regional SAR and the Sukabumi Regency Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) assisted by volunteer elements. "National Road II, which was buried by a landslide on Monday at around 21.30 WIB, on Tuesday at around 14.30 WIB, various types of motorized vehicles were able to pass again," he said in Sukabumi, Antara, Tuesday, December 13. According to Medi, even though vehicles can be crossed, motorists, especially those riding motorbikes, are asked to be careful because there is still a lot of mud and slippery roads that are prone to accidents. His party has also coordinated with the Sukabumi Regency Fire Department (Damkar) to clean up mud. In addition, security personnel are still on standby to regulate traffic. Then two heavy equipment deployed to the location to evacuate the landslide material have been returned to the Military District Command Headquarters (Makodim) 0622 Sukabumi Regency, so that currently the traffic flow has returned smoothly. "We urge the public, especially motorists who want to go through Jalan Nasional II Sukabumi, to be careful and vigilant, because there are many landslides and fallen trees," he added. On the other hand, Medi said that the landslide disaster that blocked access to Jalan Nasional II was not only around Pasirsuren Village, but there were other landslide points such as around Bojonggaling Village, Bantargadung District. The avalanche material has also been evacuated.
