In a follow-up to his December 2025 survey of Aceh floods, President Prabowo Subianto performed Idul Fitri 1447 H prayer on March 21, 2026, with around 1,300 flood and landslide survivors at Masjid Darussalam in Aceh Tamiang. Accompanied by key officials, he distributed aid, inspected temporary housing, and received updates on rapid rehabilitation progress across Aceh, North Sumatra, and West Sumatra.
President Prabowo Subianto continued his engagement with victims of the November-December 2025 floods and landslides by attending Eid al-Fitr 1447 H prayer on Saturday, March 21, 2026 (confirmed by the Religious Affairs Ministry via hisab rukyat), at Masjid Darussalam in the temporary housing complex (huntara) of Karang Baru, Aceh Tamiang, Aceh. He arrived around 06:47-07:30 WIB by helicopter from Medan and was warmly welcomed by enthusiastic worshippers filling the mosque and courtyard amid takbir chants.
Joined by approximately 1,300 congregants including survivors from Aceh, North Sumatra, and West Sumatra, the prayer proceeded solemnly. Prabowo was accompanied by Interior Minister and Head of the Task Force for Accelerating Rehabilitation and Reconstruction (PRR) Post-Sumatra Disaster Muhammad Tito Karnavian, Aceh Governor Muzakir Manaf, Cabinet Secretary Teddy Indra Wijaya, National Police Chief Listyo Sigit Prabowo, and other officials.
Following the prayer, the President exchanged halalbihalal greetings and symbolically distributed Eid aid packages containing basic food staples (sembako) and prayer supplies to representatives. He inspected huntara units built by the Ministry of Public Works (20 blocks with about 240 units across two locations) and spoke with residents.
Tito Karnavian highlighted the President's visit as proof of strong commitment to survivor rehabilitation, noting significant progress: restored national/provincial roads, nearly 100% electricity coverage, smooth communications and internet, health services in 52 districts/cities, and bustling markets. Prabowo praised the rapid recovery, stating, “Ya, perbaikannya, pemulihannya sangat cepat. Alhamdulillah, hampir 100 persen [tidak ada lagi yang di tenda],” and appreciated efforts by TNI, Polri, BNPB, and others in restoring normalcy. The PRR Task Force will continue with permanent roads, bridges, river normalization, and education facilities.
