Bobby Nasution: Stunting To Flooding Of Homework On Medan's 432th Anniversary

MEDAN - Medan Mayor Bobby Nasution stated that stunting, flooding and infrastructure are still homework that must be completed immediately on the 432th Anniversary of the North Sumatran capital.

"The problems of stunting, flooding and infrastructure are our homework. For that, we hope that all parties will cooperate, especially the Forkopimda elements, to solve them," Bobby said in Medan, quoted by Antara, Friday, July 1.

He emphasized this after becoming the inspector of the flag ceremony in commemoration of the 432th anniversary of the City of Medan at the Mini Stadium, University of North Sumatra, Medan.

Now, he continued, after the COVID-19 pandemic became endemic, there was still something to be done together. Namely the handling of stunting because from the data collection carried out it was recorded that currently there are 550 children affected by stunting in the city of Medan.

The Mayor of Medan emphasized that the handling of stunting must be directly proportional to the family's economic problems, so that all OPD must collaborate to overcome the failed growth conditions of children under five due to malnutrition.

This includes full support from the TNI/Polri apparatus who assist the Medan City Government in collecting data, checking and handling stunting.

"This is our homework together," he said.

Bobby Nasution reminded the ranks of the Medan City Government, especially the OPD related to the infrastructure sector, because it has become a joint promise for completion in Medan City within two years.

Bobby said that infrastructure problems cannot be separated from the flooding that still haunts several areas in Medan City.

For this reason, the relevant OPD and TNI/Polri should resolve this issue, including the tidal flood in the northern part of Medan.

"For that I want to convey, we must carry out the construction of the tidal flood embankment this year. I ask my friends from the TNI/Polri to jointly provide assistance," he said.

Bobby Nasution also wished the city of Medan the 432th Happy Birthday to the entire community.

"Hopefully in the future we will carry out the tasks given to us, so as to make Medan a city of collaboration that gives blessings to all of us," said Bobby.
