JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - Chairman of the Task Force for Accelerated\nRehabilitation and Reconstruction following the Sumatra Disaster, Tito\nKarnavian, confirmed that community mobility and logistics in Sumatra\nhave been restored, though some areas still rely on temporary\nbridges.<\/p>\n
\u201cNational road access is fully restored. All national bridges are\noperational,\u201d Tito said during a press conference at the Senayan\nParliamentary Complex in Jakarta on Monday, 25 May 2026.<\/p>\n
He added that national bridges are functioning, albeit temporarily,\nwith some using Bailey bridges, pioneer bridges, Armco bridges, or\nsuspension bridges, all functional for mobility. Some regional bridges\nremain unrepaired.<\/p>\n
Schooling has resumed in their respective school buildings, though a\nsmall number still use temporary facilities due to red zones.<\/p>\n
\u201cLearning activities are proceeding, but out of 4,922 schools, some\nremain in tents, particularly in red zones requiring relocation. We are\ncurrently discussing preparations for relocation sites,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Finally, Tito reported positive progress on handling displaced\npersons. Disaster-affected residents across Sumatra\u2019s provinces have\nbeen gradually moved from emergency tents to Temporary Housing\n(Huntara).<\/p>\n
\u201cThese positive developments include those already in Huntara. Most\nare in West Sumatra, North Sumatra, and Aceh \u2014 specifically Aceh Tamiang\nRegency, where residents previously in tents have now been relocated to\nHuntara under BNPB,\u201d Tito said.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/tito-reports-on-road-and-education-sector-recovery-following-sumatra-disaster-1780147295", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
