JAKARTA - President Prabowo Subianto stated that there had been significant developments in handling villages that had been isolated, especially in the South Tananuli area, North Sumatra.
During a visit to the Batu Hula Refugee Post, South Tapanuli Regency, North Sumatra, on Wednesday, December 31, the eve of the new year, he said that a number of access points that were cut off were now starting to open thanks to the acceleration of cross-ministry and agency handling.
"I am grateful that in this 1 month, although there are still many challenges, there has been quite a lot of progress and success," he said, quoted by Antara.
He said the government was fully committed to helping people affected by disasters and emphasized that the government's main task was to work for the people, especially those who were facing difficulties.
Based on the report he received, currently there are no more isolated villages in South Tapanuli Regency. In addition, in general, access in North Sumatra also shows significant improvement.
The Governor of North Sumatra, Bobby Afif Nasution, he said, reported that from dozens of villages that had previously been cut off, only five villages remained that still needed further handling.
The government also targets that the opening of access to these villages can be immediately completed.
He has also directly reviewed the bridge which was built as part of the effort to restore infrastructure. He appreciated the acceleration of construction which was considered much faster than normal time.
"The governor reported that initially there were dozens of villages, five villages that were still cut off. I received a report, I just checked the bridge that was built, it was also built in a fairly short time, it usually takes 3 weeks to 1 month, this was successfully implemented in 10 days," he said.
According to him, this achievement is the result of hard work and collaboration of various parties, including the Ministry of Public Works (PU), BNPB, TNI/Polri and other related ministries/institutions.
