A
middle-ranking official of the local transportation agency in Pasuruan, East Java, died on Tuesday while undergoing physical training held as part of the state defense program.
The civil servant, identified as Dyah Umiyarti Purnamaningrum, died while participating in a morning marching program, tribunnews.com reported.
Dyah complained of dizziness before being taken to a medical room where she received treatment.
She was then rushed to an emergency room at a local community health center before being pronounced dead.
Her body was taken to a local hospital in Pasuruan for an autopsy.
The Defense Ministry kicked off the Bela Negara (state defense) program in late October throughout the country's 34 provinces.
The ministry said that the program was aimed at building people's character, instilling discipline and building solidarity that could eventually prepare citizens to deal with threats and play a role in defending the nation.
