"We will build adequate waste disposal facilities so that people are more concerned about the environment. Good waste management not only prevents flooding, but also creates a healthier environment," he said.
As a long-term strategic step, said Dody, his party will normalize the Bekasi River, one of the main river flows in the region. The program is expected to increase the capacity of river flows while reducing the risk of flooding in the future.
"We want to ensure that the steps we take are not only temporary, but also have a long-term impact. With cooperation between the central, regional and community governments, we are optimistic that we can create a safer and more sustainable environment," he concluded.
