Central Java Governor Ganjar Pranowo (ISTIMEWA)

BANJARNEGARA - Central Java Governor Ganjar Pranowo intervened to help residents of Pesangan Village, Pagedongan District, Banjarnegara Regency who experienced landslides and caused road access to collapse.

Accompanied by the Head of the Public Works Agency, Bina Marga and Cipta Karya, Hanung Triyanto, Ganjar was greeted with cheers from villagers who had been waiting along the road. The collapsed road is about 50 meters from residential areas.

From the residents and members of the Banjarnegara BPBD, the road collapsed two meters deep on Sunday 7 May after heavy rain overnight. One house that stands on the land is also affected. Now, the road access is limited to two-wheeled vehicles.

"It has been temporarily handled by the district government, the rest we will prepare the design. Meanwhile, we want to submit it to BNPB, because this is a disaster," said Ganjar after inspecting the location, Wednesday, May 24 afternoon.

The review was carried out by Ganjar in an effort to accelerate handling. Through the relevant agencies, Ganjar helps survey the conditions, design and land acquisition.

"You have to design, if this happens to be on the left side of the land owned by Mr. Kadus, we will negotiate this. If this can turn there, it will be easier (the design)," he said.

The governor of Central Java for two periods said that in the process of redesigning the land testing road, it must be carried out. Because under the collapsed road, which is an alternative road for Banjarnegara-Kebumen, there is an indication of a flow of springs.

"The water test must be carried out, under the (land/land) there are indications that there is water, so technically a place for water must be made to flow. If it can be done well, this area is extraordinaryly steep and earlier the BPBD has also calculated that this is a fault area behind it is also a ravine," he explained.

On the other hand, Ganjar also appealed to residents who are still using the road to be careful. Moreover, currently, the new handling is only limited to temporary embankments by retaining sandbags.

"So indeed we have to build really carefully, so I remind you because there was a report from the village head that if there was a car going up or not, it could be limited, there were two villages there that needed supplies. If there are vehicles that cannot pass, vehicles that can pass must be provided. 4wheel-drived Umpama, so that if you can go up there, God willing, it will be safe. But the emergency action is good," said Ganjar.
