CIANJUR - The Cianjur DPRD requested that the proposed expansion of southern Cianjur into an independent district be realized immediately. For this reason, the West Java DPRD and President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) quickly lifted the moratorium.

"Cianjur Regency proposes the expansion of South Cianjur into an independent regency so that there is clarity on the proposal for the New Autonomous Preparatory Region (CDPOB) which has been around for a long time, but is still waiting," said Cianjur DPRD chairman Ganjar Ramadhan in Cianjur on Thursday, April 7 , reported Antara.

The Cianjur DPRD, he said, really appreciated the visit made by the West Java DPRD Special Committee I Team to Cianjur in the context of discussing the CDPOB proposal for South Cianjur Regency. In fact, his party together with executives in the Cianjur Regency Government have made support since two years ago.

He hopes that there will be full encouragement and support from the Provincial DPRD together with the Governor of West Java to take CDPOB in a more serious direction so that the central government in this case the President of the Republic of Indonesia can immediately lift the moratorium on regional expansion, especially for southern Cianjur.

"At least there is no definite answer, why the moratorium has not been lifted so that it becomes a big question for the lower classes of society, especially those who want the expansion to be realized immediately in order to improve various fields of development," said Ganjar.

The West Java Provincial DPRD and the Cianjur Regency DPRD cannot fully decide on the wishes of the regional government for expansion because they can decide the central government. His party together with the local government can only hope that the wishes or proposals of the South Cianjur CDPOB will soon be realized.

"While the proof of the Cianjur Regency Government's full support, it has budgeted quite a fantastic cost, including intense communication with the West Java Provincial Government which continues to be carried out," he said.

The chairman of the Special Committee I of the West Java DPRD, Sadar Muslihat, said that various preparations included visiting the southern region of Cianjur which was ready to expand, including visiting the government center in Sindangbarang District.

In fact, his party will directly inspect the 1,000-kilometer provincial road to the south of Cianjur which is in serious condition and must be repaired immediately as an effort to support the expansion.

"We will see directly with the team regarding the damage to the provincial road to southern Cianjur so that during a meeting in the province it can be discussed, including the expansion plan so that the Governor of West Java, immediately makes repairs," he said.
