BEKASI - Minister of Housing and Settlement Areas (PKP) Maruarar Sirait plans to relocate or transfer residents of the flood victims Pondok Gede Permai, Jatiasih, Bekasi City to the area around the Bintara Market.

Ara, Maruarar called, said the proposal needed to be socialized with residents affected by the Bekasi Jatiasih flood first.

"So I have discussed the idea of relocation with the head of BNPB and we also invite the public to talk carefully. Is there any desire for relocation? That's right," Ara explained while visiting the flood victims' refugee camps in Jatiasih, Wednesday, March 5.

According to him, this proposal arose because the Pondok Gede Permai area often experienced flooding. He admitted that the idea of relocation is not something that is easy to implement. He explained that relocation requires careful planning because it not only moves houses but the lives of its citizens.

"Referring not only to live in life but also to think about schools, markets, places of worship. So move all of them. For that it needs to be asked carefully," said Ara.

Furthermore, Ara said that the proposed relocation idea would be discussed with residents of the Jatiasih flood evacuation within the next 1-2 days.

The location of the NCO Market was chosen after he chatted with the mayor of Bekasi. "At the Bintara Market, the land is already there and it belongs to Bekasi City," explained Ara regarding the plan to relocate residents of Bekasi flood victims.
