JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - Coordinating Minister (Menko) for Infrastructure and Regional Development Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono (AHY) reported on developments and tactical steps following the accident between the KRL and KA Argo Bromo Anggrek trains in Bekasi some time ago.

“Of course, we reported on the developments and the tactical solution steps that must be taken immediately and have actually been carried out, following the train accident at Bekasi Timur Station,” said AHY at the Palace in Jakarta on Tuesday (12/5/2026).

AHY stated that his side has identified 76 level crossings in Java and Sumatra regions that require the immediate construction of railway gates, flyovers, or underpasses.
