Security posts for flood-prone spots

SEMARANG: The Central Java office of the Ministry of
Transportation has built a number of "command posts" in areas
prone to flooding along the railway route connecting the towns of
Brebes and Bojonegoro in East Java.

Quoting a statement from the office, Antara reported yesterday
the posts had been erected at several points along the Semarang-
Mangkang-Kaliwungu route, and along the Brumbung-Gubug and
Bojonegoro routes.

The office also set up a security post to monitor possible
landslides along the Tanggung-Kedungjati (Grobogan) route.

The posts will be manned by personnel equipped with walkie-
talkies. Some materials, such as gravel and wood planks, have
also been stored, ready for use in case of damage to the railway
tracks.

The office called on motorists to be extra-cautious when using
the road along the northern coast of Central Java, which is prone
to flooding and landslides. (swe)
