Indonesian Parliament Postpones Nataru Meeting

Meeting Rescheduled Due to Minister's Absence

The Indonesian House of Representatives' Commission V has postponed a meeting that was scheduled to discuss infrastructure and transportation preparations for the 2025 Christmas and 2026 New Year (Nataru) period. The meeting, originally set for December 2, 2025, at 1:00 PM WIB, has been rescheduled to December 8, 2025.

Reason for Postponement

The postponement was necessitated by the absence of Transportation Minister Dudy Purwagandhi, who is leading the sector's Nataru preparedness efforts. Minister Purwagandhi requested to be excused from the meeting as he was inspecting disaster locations in North Sumatra, Aceh, and West Sumatra. Commission V Chairman Lasarus confirmed that the meeting was postponed due to the Minister's unavailability.

Implications of the Postponement

The rescheduling of this meeting may impact the timely review of Nataru preparations, particularly in the transportation and infrastructure sectors. The meeting's discussion is crucial for ensuring that necessary measures are in place for the safe passage of travelers during the holiday period.
