BANDA ACEH, Aceh: Traffic between the capital city and
Meulaboh is moving at a crawl due to a landslide in the Gunung
Kulu and Palu areas.

The Lhoknga police chief First Lt. Dwi Cahyono after
inspecting the area yesterday said the landslide had halved the
five-meter-wide road in two 10-meter-long sections.

He said that as a result only small vehicles can pass the
road.

As reported by Antara, he could not predict when repairs could
be made and instead expressed fear that if the rain continues the
whole road may be washed away. (mds)
