Landslides, triggered by heavy rain, have blocked a road connecting Pagaralam City, South Sumatra, and Manna regency, Bengkulu.

Antara news agency said that the road was also heavy damaged, with potholes and wide cracks seen on the surface.

Mg Yuzal, South Sumatra province's Public Works agency chief, told the news agency that repair work on the road, which began last year, was stopped after funding form the central government ceased.
