JAKARTA - Member of Commission V DPR RI Rifqinizamy Karsayuda encourages the Ministry of Public Works and Public Housing (PUPR) to accelerate the development of infrastructure affected by the disaster.

"The PUPR Ministry has significantly assisted in handling this flood. As several districts in South Kalimantan (South Kalimantan) have been affected by the impact. We hope that there is an acceleration of infrastructure development, especially disaster management, such as dam development can be accelerated," said Rifqi as quoted by Antara, Friday, January 22 .

However, he understood that repairs could not be completed in a short time. Sometimes every disaster occurs which becomes a problem not only in post-disaster management, but also the prevention of disasters through tracking the source of the disaster.

The legislator appreciated the performance of the Ministry of PUPR in handling post-natural disaster infrastructure improvements. For this reason, Rifqi encourages the PUPR Ministry to continue to boost its work and development projects throughout Indonesia.

He also highlighted the impact of the floods that occurred in South Kalimantan earlier this year.

"The quality of roads affected by flooding will definitely decline. In terms of cleanliness, sanitation is urgently needed at this time, while their irrigation pipes are submerged. I sincerely beg the forum to pay attention to South Kalimantan, as well as to other areas affected by the disaster," he said.

He also called on the government to pay attention to the recovery of infrastructure in areas affected by the disaster, both in terms of road access and availability of clean water.

The legislator also proposed and requested that there be a joint cross-commission meeting to discuss disaster problems in Indonesia.

"In the upstream area, the problem is that water quickly falls with a high discharge, so nature conservation is a major issue. So illegal mining, business transfer in the forest environment, and other activities involving the environment must be regulated and supervised. Law enforcement in forestry and mining issues must be regulated. also running, "said Rifqi.
