Activities return to normal after flooding

KENDARI, Southeast Sulawesi: Activities in Konawe regency have
started to return to normal over the past few days following
flooding that hit the area last month.

Trading activity in the several markets, including Kuratao
market, was again bustling on Friday with traders and buyers
packing the market. Cars and motorcycles have begun using roads
that were earlier cut by the flooding.

However, some residents, including Yusuf, a resident in
Wiwirano district, complained on Friday that they had not
received any flood assistance that had been promised by the
government. He said that aid was crucial as food was scarce
following the flooding that ruined rice fields in eight
subdistricts in the regency. -- JP
