BALI - The Badung Regency Government (Pemkab) in Bali began working on a cracked cliff handling project at Uluwatu Temple, South Kuta District, Badung. The construction began to be marked by the implementation of the Mapelem ceremony at the Segara Dalem Pangleburan Labuan Sait Beach, Badung. Today we are going to meet Pakelem and Nunas ica or ask for safety, hopefully when the implementation of the rock arrangement can run smoothly, safely in accordance with our common expectations," said Badung Regional Secretary I Wayan Adi Arnawa in Badung, Bali, Sunday 4 August, confiscated by Antara. He said that the Cliff arrangement at Luhur Uluwa Temple was carried out as a step from the government in order to maintain the Luhur Uluwatu Temple condition.. According to him, the cliff conditions in the area are also very steep and require a handle infrastructure for the community which is very strong to anticipate things that are not desirable. For this reason, the Badung Regency Government carried out the construction of the seawall and other coastal safety buildings and carried out the handling of the cracked cliffs at Uluwatu Temple which is targeted to be completed by the end of 2024 with a package ceiling value of Rp82 billion. Adi Arnawa explained the related to the rock cracks that had existed in the past, later steps would also be taken by the team from the local PUPR Service. What is clear is that the program includes the handling of cracks, improvements and even strengthening of the foundations. After the work is completed, it will probably be continued to the Batu Meanda Temple. For this arrangement we are targeted until the end of this year, we will see again developments in 2025," he said.
