The Indonesia Military (TNI) and body retrievers sped up work on
\nMonday following an instruction from President Susilo Bambang
\nYudhoyono to expedite the cleaning up of Aceh from rubble and
\nflotsam.<\/p>\n
Two excavators and several dump trucks clean Setuy River,
\nwhich cuts across Jl. Teuku Umar (see photo) and flows through
\nthe capital of Banda Aceh. The military managed to retrieve 11
\ndecomposed bodies from the river when they started work at about
\n10 a.m.<\/p>\n
In nearby business district on Jl. Pangeran Diponegoro, relief
\nworkers from Yemen and North Maluku worked hand-in-hand to clean
\nup the damaged area, retrieving more bodies from the rubble.<\/p>\n
Head of the disaster mitigating task force in Aceh, Alwi
\nShihab, set on Monday a deadline to clean up the province within
\ntwo weeks.<\/p>\n
Among the relief workers were locals who joined in the search
\nfor more dead bodies as well as those who took their belongings
\nfrom their houses or stores.<\/p>\n
On the walls of houses in the area heading to Ulee Lheu
\nvillage, which is the worst village damaged by the calamity,
\nthere were written messages in red paint informing that the
\nfamilies had survived, but there was no more information on their
\nwhereabouts.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Kasmaryati, 53, was still looking for her son
\nRudiwin Asura, 29, and four-year-old grandson, Altap Ruwaldo
\nPatikara. Karmaryati said she had found the bodies of her
\ndaughter-in-law, granddaughter and housemaid. The only survivor
\nin Banda Aceh was her 19-year-old daughter, Agrifina, who she
\ntook to her house in Takengon, Bireuen, which is about a six-hour
\ntrip from the capital.<\/p>\n
\"I'll keep looking for them ... I believe they're safe
\nsomewhere,\" she said. (JP\/Ruslan Sangadji)<\/p>",
