CIANJUR - Communities in 18 sub-districts in Cianjur, West Java, hope that repairs to damaged provincial and district roads can be carried out immediately before Eid because many travelers will pass by and make it easier for residents to carry out economic activities.

South Cianjur student leader, Agus Rama Tungaraga in Cianjur on Tuesday, April 19, said that after the spontaneous actions carried out by various groups including students some time ago, the provincial and district governments have prepared budgets for road repairs.

"We are grateful that finally the damaged provincial roads leading to South Cianjur were immediately repaired with a budget of tens of billions and district roads whose value reached hundreds of billions, but we hope that repairs by patching do not stop because the homecoming season will soon be over," he said.

The temporary repair process carried out by the relevant agencies on the provincial road which stretches for 99.1 kilometers from Cibeber Subdistrict to Sindangbarang, must continue while waiting for repairs because vehicle activity will increase before Eid.

The head of the Cianjur Kidul Youth Regiment, Dadang Rusmana Kobul, said that the construction of provincial and district roads in South Cianjur was a dream for all residents in 18 sub-districts because for the past five years the condition had been so badly damaged that it was difficult to pass through.

"Not only before Eid, so far the provincial road in the south of Cianjur, is an economic access for residents in 18 sub-districts, especially to sell agricultural products to the city. It is hoped that construction will be carried out soon, including the heavily damaged district roads," he said. Cianjur Deputy Regent, TB Mulyana Syachrudin said to support the construction of provincial roads, the Cianjur Regency Government also provided a budget of up to Rp 200 billion to build district roads including in the southern region with a budget of Rp 177 billion.

"The road being built will be connected to the provincial road which will be built in the near future, but the bidding process for the construction project will take time, so it will not be implemented before Eid, so we ask residents to be patient," he said.
