"The main focus of the meeting is repair and construction of roads to improve connectivity between regions," wrote the description in the video.

In addition, there are also discussions regarding the normalization of river border areas to prevent flooding in West Java and its surroundings.

On this occasion, Minister Dody responded to a priority proposal from the Governor of West Java regarding the support of connectivity infrastructure and flood control.

Previously, Governor Dedi Mulyadi also visited the Ministry of Public Works office in mid-March 2025.

At that time, Dedi met Deputy Minister of Public Works Diana Kusumastuti and Minister of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning/Head of the National Land Agency (ATR/BPN) to discuss the anticipation of flash floods in West Java and its surroundings.

On this occasion, Deputy Minister Diana said that her party would allocate a budget of IDR 3.6 trillion to build embankments on the banks of Kali Bekasi, West Java, for 19.64 kilometers.

"The value of the work for the embankment in Bekasi from package 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, is a total of Rp. 3.6 trillion," Diana said on Monday, March 17.

In addition, Diana said, her party will also build eight retention ponds. However, he said, currently his party is still conducting a feasibility study (FS).

"But for the retention pond, we are currently doing the FS," he said.

According to Diana, all the embankment construction work can only be done starting next June. Because, currently there are still problems with land acquisition.

"For the management of embankments so far, we still need this land and land, of course, we must work together with stakeholders in the regions," he said.
