Komeng Visits Tasikmalaya City, Distributes Aid to Disaster Victims

Member of the Regional Representative Council (DPD) Alfiansyah Bustami, or Komeng, visited Tasikmalaya City. The member of Commission II on Agriculture, Plantations, and Transportation met with the Deputy Mayor of Tasikmalaya, Rd Diky Candranegara, who is also his friend.

Komeng stated that this working visit was for halal bihalal and to maintain ties with his friend Rd Diky Candranegara. Additionally, he came due to sympathy for the numerous disaster incidents in the area.

“We just contacted the Directorate of Social Protection for Natural Disaster Victims of the Ministry of Social Affairs and the West Java Provincial Social Service to distribute aid to disaster-affected residents. The aid is hoped to help ease the burden on disaster-affected residents,” he said on Monday (30/3).

He emphasised that his working visit to the disaster area was not as a committee member but as a concerned individual for residents impacted by natural disasters. He wanted to gain rewards by being useful to others affected by disasters.

“I have acquaintances at the Ministry of Social Affairs, so I must help the residents of Kang Diky Candra,” he said.

Meanwhile, Tasikmalaya Deputy Mayor Diky Candranegara said Komeng’s presence was greatly appreciated. He cares about Tasikmalaya residents.

“We request that the Social Service, together with the Tasikmalaya City BPBD, immediately send data on collapsed houses affected by disasters, including those swept by strong winds,” he explained.

Heavy rain accompanied by strong winds has caused dozens of houses to be damaged in Sumurgede Village, Kawalu Subdistrict, Bungursari Subdistrict. Several houses were swept away and a number of trees fell.
