Landslide isolates village

BANJARMASIN, South Kalimantan: The Paraman Atas Village in Sungai Pinang Subdistrict, South Kalimantan has been isolated eight months following a landslide that badly damaged a road connecting the village to others in January.

The landslide has cut the transportation to the village, causing villagers to go out of the village on foot.

"Villagers have difficulties transporting their harvests to the urban areas," Suriansyah, head of the village, said on Saturday.

He said he has reported on the village's isolation to the Martapura administration but so far, the local administration has yet to give attention to repair the cut road. --Antara
