LANDSLIDES CUT OFF ROADS IN ACEH DISTRICTS
Banda Aceh, Nov. 26 (ANTARA) - Landslides triggered by heavy rains over the past few days have cut off main roads in several districts in Indonesia's western-most province of Aceh.
Several roads were cut off but food supplies were not affected thanks to the existence of alternative routes, said the head of the Aceh transportation office, Muhyan Yunan, here on Wednesday.
Traffic on the Banda Aceh-Calang route was still paralyzed, while some others had started to reopen, he said.
Tens of trucks carrying food and construction materials such as cement were seen queuing on the Gunung Pantee road, around 48 km from Calang.
