Banda Aceh is one of the cities in Aceh. Banda Aceh became the capital of the Aceh province and became the center of government.
If you see Banda Aceh is a magnificent city now, then we will remember how the city was destroyed when it was hit by the tsunami in 2004. On December 26, 2004, the Tsunami destroyed 12 districts in Aceh. The impact is the large number of casualties, loss of housing, and damage to facilities in each region. If we look at the condition of Banda Aceh at that time, maybe we will imagine how difficult it is to rebuild the infrastructure in Aceh. Because Banda Aceh is an area that has very severe infrastructure damage, Banda Aceh used the donations provided by other countries to reconstruct damaged facilities.
The funds are used to rebuild the sector which was paralyzed due to various damage. As time went on, Aceh continued to improve infrastructure. Banda Aceh, which became the center of the city, continued to carry out reconstruction in order to meet the needs of the community because at that time the economic conditions in Aceh were very poor.
The picture above is Banda Aceh after 10 years. We can clearly see that Aceh, especially Banda Aceh, has carried out a lot of infrastructure development and reconstruction with funds from various budgets provided for Aceh. Aceh managed to rise from its dark days. Banda Aceh has now become a city that has captured the world's attention with the construction of buildings, facilities and tourist attractions.
