11 villages still not functioning

BANDA ACEH, Aceh: Eleven out of 5,947 subdistrict governments
in Aceh are still not functioning, three months after martial law
was lifted in the troubled province.

Sr. Comr. Anjaya, the deputy chief of the civil emergency
administration, said that they were not functioning because the
subdistricts were abandoned by public servants and residents due
to fears of clashes.

The security situation is getting better, hence the number of
subdistrict administrations not functioning are far fewer than
last year, said Anjaya. Last year, when Aceh was still under
martial law, hundreds of subdistricts did not function in Aceh,
he said. -- Antara
