Padang, West Sumatra (ANTARA News) - The building of the trans local project for victims of the Sept 30 2010 earthquake in West Sumatra in the Koto Tangah Minangkabau community, Pauh Sembilan subdistrict, Limapuluh Kota regency, was planned to be started in March 2011.

"The Rp16.8 billion for building a trans local project for quake victims in Agam and Padangpariaman will be made available in March this year at the latest," head of the West Sumatra manpower and transmigration agency Syofyan said here Monday.

He said prior to the disbursement of the funding, the roads to the location would have to be hardened, because 24 km of the road cannot be used to transport building material and equipment for the building of houses to the location.

Syofyan said he has told the governor and deputy governor to seek the necessary budget.(*)
