JAKARTA - As one of the districts that experienced widespread and severe impacts, the handling in East Aceh and North Aceh received serious attention from the Task Force for Acceleration of Rehabilitation and Reconstruction (Satgas PRR). This is very reasonable considering the scope of the affected area and also the damage to various infrastructure ranging from roads, bridges, housing, schools to rice fields and fields owned by residents.

In his press statement, the Head of the Aceh Regional Post (Kaposwil), Safrizal ZA said that meetings that are of a coordinating and consolidating nature must always be balanced with field work and inspections.

"The main task of the PRR Task Force is to ensure that various action plans are actually carried out in the field so that the benefits can be felt directly by the community, not only behind the desk, but directly down as we are accompanying the Head of BNPB as Wakasatgasnas today," said Safrizal, Thursday, January 29.

The inspection and review of East Aceh and North Aceh Regency itself targets several points, namely:

1. Inspection of Huntara Development in Pante Rambong Village, East Aceh Regency; 2. Inspection of Reconstruction and assistance to SDN Blang Senong, East Aceh Regency; 3. Inspection of Sawang Village Bridge, North Aceh Regency; 4. Assistance to the people of Tupok Blang Village, North Aceh Regency; 5. Inspection of Huntara Development in Baba Krueng Village, North Aceh Regency;

"Alhamdulillah, the huntara in Pante Rambong Village, East Aceh, has been completed, symbolically, the Wakasatgasnas has handed over the keys to the community, for those who did not choose the huntara option, the waiting fund for housing (DTH) has also been handed over, while in Baba Krueng Village, North Aceh, the progress has reached 60-70 percent," continued Safrizal.

Meanwhile, during the inspection of the bridge in the village of sawang which was destroyed by flash floods, the construction of the bailey bridge had begun by lowering heavy equipment and personnel assistance from the National Police Brimob. This bridge itself is the lifeline of community activities, as well as penetrating the opposite village which had been isolated.

"The acceleration of the construction of the bailey bridge is an absolute necessity in Sawang Village so that it can be immediately connected, so that the access is open, including overcoming the difficulties of children going to school, in parallel with the acceleration of the technical plan for the construction of a permanent bridge next to it," added Safrizal who also serves as Director General of Regional Administrative Development, Ministry of Home Affairs.
