He said providing services during a disaster was not an easy matter.His party is not only faced with road access being cut off due to landslides and floods, but also facing other challenges regarding the depletion of fuel availability in the incident area.
“Because it’s not easy now to send there, not only is there access, but there are also very long queues for petrol there. So that has quite an impact,” he said.
“The problem is to reach the area there. We are currently still struggling with the distribution of basic necessities as a priority,” he said later.
According to him, the only Honda dealers that were paralyzed were in Aceh, while those in North Sumatra and West Sumatra were not directly affected by the disaster.Now dealers in Aceh have started operating.
AHM also provides free repair services for victims affected by the disaster.
