Indonesian Defense team searching for missing students after a prayer hall Islamic The boarding school collapsed on Tuesday, recovered more than two dozens of bodies in the weekend, causing the toll of the confirmed death to 40.
Using Jacques, circular saws and sometimes their bare hands, the rescue teams removed the debris from dedication in an attempt to allegedly disappear. The National Disaster Mitigation Agency said that the rescue team found 26 bodies alone over the weekends.
The structure fell to the top of hundreds of students, mostly boys between the ages of 12 and 19, on September 30 at the eastern part of Indonesia at the centenary -old Al Khojini School of Sidoarzo Java island. Officials said only one student was dissatisfied, while 95 were treated and released for various injuries. Eight others suffered serious injuries and were hospitalized on Sunday.
Police Said that two levels were being added to a two -storey building without permits, causing structural failure. It has started widespread anger over illegal construction in Indonesia.
Mudji Irman, a construction specialist at the tenth November institute, said, “The construction could not support the load, while the concrete was not fulfilling the third floor as it did not meet the standards and the construction of the entire 800 square meters (8,600 square feet) collapsed.”
Iramavan also said that students should not have been allowed inside a building under construction.
Sidarz District Head, Subdani confirmed what the police had announced: The school management did not apply for the necessary permits before starting the construction.
“Many buildings, including traditional boarding school extensions, were built in non-urban areas without any permits,” Sabandi, who go by the same name, told the Associated Press on Sunday.
The 2002 Building Code of Indonesia states that permits are to be issued by the concerned authorities before any construction, otherwise the owners have to face fines and imprisonment. If a violation causes death, it can lead to a fine of up to 15 years and a fine of 8 billion rupees (about $ 500,000).
The school’s acting is Abdus Salaam Mujib, a respected Islamic cleric in Eastern Java. He offered a public apology in a rare presence a day after the incident.
“This is really the will of God, so we should all be patient, and might be God Change it with goodness, with something better. We should be convinced that God will reward the people affected by this incident with great awards, ”he said.
Criminal investigations related to Muslim clerics are sensitive in the world’s most populous Muslim-bound nation.
No comments have been made with school officials since the collapse.
“We will investigate the matter thoroughly,” East Java Police Chief Nanang Aviento said on Sunday. “Our investigation also requires guidance from a team of construction experts to determine whether the school has died carelessly or not.”
