Villagers want access road

BANDAR LAMPUNG, Lampung: Thousands of villagers of Way Haru and Bandar Dalam in West Lampung regency have called on the government to build an access road to their area and free them from isolation, Antara reported.

The news agency reported that there was no road that could accommodate four-wheel vehicles leading to the area, making it difficult to transport food supplies and for the villagers to market their produce.

The two villages are located 200 kilometers west of Bandar Lampung, between the Bukit Barisan Selatan National Park and the Indian Ocean.

The only access to the villages is through Kota Agung seaport in Tanggamus, landing in a makeshift dock in Way Haru. (swe)
