Reviewing Damaged Bridge And Complaining Of Garbage In The River, Mayor Bobby: The Medan Government Will Take Serious Response

JAKARTA - Medan Mayor Bobby Nasution promised to repair the damaged bridge in Medan Polonia District. Not only that, but the son-in-law of President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) also promised to clean up the garbage on the riverbank around the bridge.

"This problem will be taken seriously by Medan City Government", said Bobby, quoted from his Instagram account @bobbynst, Tuesday, March 22.

He said that this damaged bridge was really needed by the surrounding community. This is because the bridge connects Medan Polonia and Medan Maimun Districts.

“This damaged bridge is passed by the community on a daily basis. There are also many school children who cross the bridge", he said.

Apart from repairing this bridge, the PDIP Party politician also said that other infrastructure improvements in Medan would be his concern.

"Repairing existing infrastructure in the city of Medan is also included in the Medan City Government's main priority program", he said.

Seeing Bobby's action, many netizens asked him to inspect other places where the infrastructure needed to be repaired.

"Please check the bridge at Lapangan Merdeka and the one at the station, sir..", said @warganet888.

"Please renovate Teladan Medan Stadium too, in cities all over Indonesia, even in regencies are competing to build a football stadium so they can be proud of it, I'm ashamed of how cool it used to be, this city of Medan is the same as other cities out there, big cities but only has a football stadium like a goat cage, many people ridiculed our stadium every time there is a live match and it is broadcasted on TV", said @rozi_hanafi90.
