JAKARTA - After accompanying the Vice President of the Republic of Indonesia, Gibran Rakabuming Raka, to review a number of points in Aceh Tamiang Regency, the Head of the Regional Post (Kaposwil) of the Aceh Rehabilitation and Reconstruction Acceleration Task Force.

In the meeting, several things were discussed regarding efforts to accelerate rehabilitation and reconstruction in Aceh Tamiang Regency, including breakthroughs in data validation so that it does not become a factor that hinders the progress of huntara development.

"The data that has been inventoried and the validation process is directly compared with the actual data in the field, don't wait for each other, before Ramadan all the huntara have been built so that there are no tents in the refugee camps," said Suharyanto.

Meanwhile, Kaposwil Aceh PRR Task Force, Safrizal ZA, highlighted the acceleration steps that must be taken immediately. This effort is not only to handle the housing of the community that is no longer possible to live in, but also psychologically is very necessary because the indication of the community is already at the saturation point if they wait longer.

"Breakthroughs must be immediately worked on by the Task Force down to the lowest level, huntingara development can be done in situ or on its own and can be collectively relocated, involving private forces and local workers so that mobilization is easier," added Safrizal.

In the forum it was also revealed that there were still evacuation points in Rongoh Village, Tamiang Hulu District which had not yet been included in the data to obtain huntara. As reported by the Head of Tamiang Kuala, M. Ilham, there were 111 KK in Rongoh Village who were not yet on the huntara list, of which 53 KK were still living in evacuation tents in oil palm plantations, while the other 58 KK were staying at relatives' houses.

"Together with the Head of BNPB who is also the Wasatgasnas PRR, we have instructed the addition of 111 hunters in Rongoh Village, Simpang Kuala District, as an inseparable part of our efforts to not leave anyone behind," continued Safrizal.

Through quick work and proper work, it is hoped that the progress of the huntara construction will run significantly so that before the holy month of Ramadan arrives, all refugees have entered the huntara. On the other hand, the cleaning and reactivation of government offices continues in Aceh Tamiang Regency,

"The people from the IPDN continue to work hard to help the local government in the joint cleaning of the cadets of the latsitardanus, handling the mud after the flood, this needs to be thought of, for example, by sprinkling grass seeds so as to minimize the dust that blows which disturbs people's breathing," concluded Safrizal.
