JAKARTA - The Minister of Home Affairs (Mendagri) and Chairman of the Post-disaster Rehabilitation and Reconstruction Task Force, Tito Karnavian, said that at least seven regencies/cities in Aceh Province needed the government's serious attention after the Sumatra flash flood at the end of November 2025.
The seven regencies/cities are among others, Aceh Tamiang; Aceh Timur; Aceh Utara; Pidie Jaya; Gayo Lues; Central Aceh; and Bener Meriah.
This was stated by Tito when giving a speech at the Release of Marine and Fisheries Cadets to the Sumatra Disaster Location at Halim Perdanakusuma Air Base (Lanud), Jakarta, Wednesday, January 14.
"In Aceh, those affected are 18 out of 22 regencies/cities. Well, we are listing from 18, there are seven that we will focus on. Number one is Aceh Tamiang, second Aceh Timur, third Aceh Utara, fourth Pidie Jaya, number five is Gayo Lues, number six is Central Aceh and the seventh is Bener Meriah. Without denying the others," said Tito.
According to Tito, the handling in the seven regencies/cities is different. This is because there are those in mountainous and lowland areas.
For mountainous areas, he said, the main problem is landslides. As a result, many roads and bridges are cut off.
"If on this mountain the main problem is landslides that cause roads, bridges, breaks, making the area locked, so that there is a lack of logistics," he said.
"But it has been supported by all forces, the normalization of roads, bridges are mostly, so that (can) be penetrated, although it is still temporary in part," he continued.
Meanwhile, for low-lying areas, continued Tito, the main problem is the mud pile. As a result, roads, houses, and a number of public facilities are damaged.
"In fact, the government office was covered with mud and there were many of them. The rivers are full of mud. The one that was 4 meters, now you can walk. That's a problem in low-lying areas," he explained.
Therefore, Tito hopes that the release of thousands of vocational education unit cadets from the KKP can accelerate rehabilitation and reconstruction after the recent floods and landslides in Sumatra, especially Aceh Province.
He also expressed his gratitude to the KKP for sending thousands of cadets to Sumatra.
"A few days ago, Minister of Home Affairs Trenggono said, I have a team of 6,000 cadets. I will send between 1,000-2,000. I immediately said, ready commander. That was very useful. Very," said Tito.
"I would like to thank the Minister of KP, Mr. Wamen, because this is very useful," he added.
