The route between West Sumatra (West Sumatra) and Riau Provinces was covered by landslides due to heavy rains, precisely at KM 82 Dusun Rantau Berangin, Merangin Village in the early hours of Tuesday, March 21 at around 03.00 WIB. The condition of the road was completely covered by soil and stone material. There were no casualties in this incident. "The landslide is caused by high rainfall and strong winds, so that the soil contours become landslides," said Acting Secretary of the Kampar Azwan in his message to ANTARA in Kampar, Tuesday afternoon. He conveyed information from the Head of the Road Office of the Ministry of PUPR Riau Province, T Yuliansyah, that the location of the landslide was being handled temporarily using an excavator. West Bangkinang Police personnel and TNI members are currently at the location. "After receiving the news, we immediately coordinated with the PUPR of Riau Province and the Regional Disaster Management Agency of Kampar Regency," said Kaspar Police Traffic Head AKP Rudi Sudaryono. He explained that the traffic flow had broken completely because the road was covered by landslide material. "The hoarding of materials due to landslides at KM 82 Merangin Village, Kuok District has been removed and vehicles have been able to pass by an open-close system," he said. Because there is still cleaning work, tools and personnel are still standing by at the location. Until this news was published, the weather was still cloudy and drizzling.
