Central Tapanuli (ANTARA) \u2014 The Gulbencal Task Force of TNI Infantry\nBattalion TP 908 Gaja Dombak deployed approximately 100 personnel on\nSunday to address flooding that occurred in Hutanabolon Village, Tukka\nDistrict, Central Tapanuli Regency, North Sumatra, resulting from a\nbreach in the Tukka River embankment.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have 180 personnel in total, with 100 from the Combined Infantry\nBattalion 908 Gaja Dombak deploying directly,\u201d said Lieutenant Infanteri\nR Sinaga, Commander of the Gulbencal Task Force TNI Infantry TP 908 GD,\nin an interview on Sunday.<\/p>\n
The deployed personnel were specifically tasked with assisting\naffected residents. Military personnel were observed efficiently helping\ncommunity members in need reach safe locations.<\/p>\n
The majority of those evacuated were elderly residents and\nchildren.<\/p>\n
According to Sinaga, the secondary flooding resulting from the breach\nin the Tukka River embankment remains relatively stable. Consequently,\nhis unit brought only two vehicles available for use by affected\nresidents.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor now, we\u2019ve provided limited resources because the situation\nremains relatively stable, safe and under control. Personnel and\nvehicles for residents in need are stationed at each coordination post,\nwith two units available,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
According to local residents, river waters began overflowing at 15:00\n(3 p.m.) local time. Unusually high rainfall rendered the Tukka River\nembankment incapable of withstanding the substantial discharge\nvolume.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/gulbencal-task-force-deploys-100-personnel-to-tackle-tukka-river-flood-disaster-1773593599", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
