        "summary": "Banten Province is accelerating normalisation of the Cirarab River, targeting completion by end-March 2026 through dredging and widening nearly five kilometres of waterway to mitigate recurring flooding. The multi-agency coordination effort involving provincial, city, and regency governments alongside the national river basin authority requires the relocation of approximately 700 riverbank homes, with resettlement to commence after Eid.",
        "content": "<p>The Banten Provincial Government aims to complete the normalisation\nof the Cirarab River by the end of March 2026. It is stated that\npersonnel will widen and dredge the river along a stretch of nearly five\nkilometres to anticipate flooding.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYesterday, during a coordination meeting at BBWSCC (Ciliwung\nCisadane River Basin Authority), we targeted completion by the end of\nMarch. Currently, the rainfall is starting to subside, so it could be\ncompleted sooner,\u201d said the Head of the Public Works and Spatial\nPlanning Department (PUPR) of Banten Province, Arlan Marzan, on Tuesday\n(24 February 2026).<\/p>\n<p>According to Arlan, the normalisation of Cirarab is a follow-up to\nthe coordination meeting held on 26 January 2026. The meeting was\nattended by the Banten Provincial Government, the Tangerang City\nGovernment, the Tangerang Regency Government, and the BBWSCC. On 3\nFebruary, roles and locations for the normalisation work were\nassigned.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn total, the normalisation segments are: 700 metres for the\nprovince, 550 metres for Tangerang City, 1.2 kilometres for BBWSCC, and\nthen 700 metres plus 1.7 kilometres for Tangerang Regency, making a\ntotal of 2.4 kilometres. So, in total, it\u2019s almost 5 kilometres,\u201d said\nArlan.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, approximately 700 metres of the riverbank requires the\nrelocation of residential houses. Arlan stated that the Tangerang\nRegency Government has already conducted socialisation regarding the\nrelocation to the affected residents.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut yesterday, together with the residents, it was thankfully\nconducive, and the regent directly conducted the socialisation. It will\nbegin after Eid,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the Governor of Banten, Andra Soni, mentioned some time\nago that areas along the Cirarab River had experienced flooding. He\nstated that flood management cannot be handled by a single agency\nalone.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe river is actually a national asset and is the responsibility of\nall of us. Although administratively it is under the authority of the\nBalai (BBWSCC), given the current conditions, we must support the Balai\nso that the impact is positive for the people of Banten,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>(aik\/wnv)<\/p>",
