Floods cut off Kalimantan road

PALANGKARAYA, Central Kalimantan: Floods cutting off the
trans-Kalimantan highway in Tumbang Nusa village, Pulang Pisau
regency, Central Kalimantan, are blocking commodity deliveries
from Java island.

Commodities, which should have been delivered to Central
Kalimantan, have been piling up for a week in Banjarmasin, South
Kalimantan, a cargo delivery firm executive said on Friday.

Haidir, an employee of CV Nusantara, said his company had
sought alternative forms of transportation like canoes to carry
cargo to Palangkaraya, but found it impossible due to the size of
the commodities. --Antara
