The Minister of Home Affairs, Muhammad Tito Karnavian, in his\ncapacity as the Head of the Post-Disaster Rehabilitation and\nReconstruction (PRR) Task Force for Sumatra, has emphasised that the\ncentral government is continuously working to mitigate the impacts of\ndisasters in the provinces of Aceh, North Sumatra, and West Sumatra. He\nstated that the government has prepared a total budget of Rp100.1\ntrillion for the rehabilitation and reconstruction phases across\nSumatra.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis serves as evidence that the government, particularly the\ncentral government, is not remaining idle regarding the disaster events\nin Sumatra. We are working very massively during this rehab and recon\nstage,\u201d Tito explained following a Coordination Meeting on the Progress\nof Post-Natural Disaster Rehabilitation and Reconstruction in the\nprovinces of Aceh, North Sumatra, and West Sumatra within the Education\nsector, held at the PRR Task Force Post in Jakarta on Wednesday\n(23\/09\/2026).<\/p>\n
Tito ensured that the handling of recovery by each ministry and\nagency will be updated periodically, every week. This week, the Ministry\nof Primary and Secondary Education reported that teaching and learning\nactivities in 4,922 locations have reached 100 per cent completion.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere will be further explanations in the following weeks and\nsubsequent weeks. The Minister of Public Works may explain the repairs\nto road access, bridges, rivers, and others, the scale of which is also\nmassive,\u201d he elaborated.<\/p>\n
During the session, Tito noted that the rehabilitation and\nreconstruction phase does not only focus on infrastructure but also\nencompasses healthcare access and the economic aspects of the\ndisaster-affected communities. He cited the steps taken by the Minister\nof Agriculture, Andi Amran Sulaiman, regarding the recovery programme\nfor affected paddy fields, as well as the Ministry of Marine Affairs and\nFisheries\u2019 focus on impacted local fish ponds.<\/p>\n
