The Takengon community in Central Aceh Regency who was affected by flash floods and landslides demanded the availability of basic necessities and fuel to the local government at the Central Aceh Regent's office.
"Whatever the government does, until today there has been no handling. It's the Regent if he can't afford to resign," said Rudi, one of the residents reported by ANTARA, Tuesday, December 2.
This action was carried out by residents because they were disappointed with the local government which was considered slow in handling disasters in the area.
The action took place in an orderly manner without any anarchist actions. Residents hope that local governments can move quickly in handling floods and landslides.
"It's been a week, sir, we people haven't received any help. We haven't even received the mention of rice yet," shouted the residents in the crowd.
After the flood and landslide disaster, people are currently still experiencing a food and clean water crisis. Rice, basic necessities, LPG gas, and fuel are lost in the market. Electricity is also still completely out and the communication network has not yet recovered.
Previously, the Head of the Central Aceh Disaster Management Agency (BPBD), Andalila, said that food assistance in the form of rice only entered on Monday, December 1, 2025.
According to him, the rice assistance was only 6.5 tons for the Central Aceh region. Meanwhile, other basic foodstuffs are still very minimal.
"Until now, we are still very short of food. Yesterday's rice entered 13 tons, but we divided it into two with Bener Meriah Regency, so we got 6.5 tons," said Andalila.
He said, Central Aceh is currently still isolated with the access road to this area being cut off by floods and landslides.
"Temporary data, until now 22 people have died and 23 people are still missing," said Andalila.
