JAKARTA - The Jambi Province Coal Mining Business Entity has prepared a budget of IDR 3.9 billion. This is for repairing alternative roads from the Luncuk Intersection to the Sridadi Street Section, Batang Hari Regency for coal transportation.

Gubernur Jambi Al Haris mengatakan, komitmen tersebut setelah mengadakan rapat bersama. Selain itu juga ditetapkan bagaimana mekanisme dari pelaksanaan dan pertanggung jawab memperbaiki jalan alternatif transport batu bara Jambi.

"One of the efforts of the Jambi Provincial Government is to control the use of coal transport vehicle plates from Jambi which of course can increase regional income," said Al Haris quoting Antara, Saturday, February 18.

As many as 41 coal companies in Jambi Province have committed to a contribution of approximately Rp. 3.9 billion to help repair roads from Simpang Luncuk to the Sridadi road section, Batang Hari Regency.

The mechanism that we have mutually agreed on is to accelerate the improvement of these alternative roads from coal mining enterprises through the CSR forum to manage the budget.

Where, the CSR forum is responsible for submitting periodic progress reports to the Governor of Jambi, the Ministry of Energy for Mineral Resources of the Republic of Indonesia and coal mining business entities.

Al Haris said the Jambi Provincial Government continues to try to unravel congestion gradually for the convenience of the Jambi community. The Jambi Provincial Government appeals to all coal mining enterprises to control and control the transporter or driver of coal trucks so that they can be more orderly in traffic by creating a simple Standard Operating Procedure (SOP).

The establishment of the CSR Forum itself is a form of joint commitment with coal mining business entities in contributing and committed to Jambi Province.

The appointment of the CSR Forum where the assignment given by the Governor of Jambi to the CSR Forum to manage the commitment funds of the Jambi Coal Mining Business Entity is approximately IDR 3.9 billion by reporting the progress of implementation periodically.

Governor Al Haris emphasized that none of the parties wanted traffic jams in Jambi Province, even coal truck drivers also did not want them, because of course the congestion that occurred caused losses to all parties, especially time losses.

"I remind the Coal Mining Business Entity and CSR Forum to be fully committed and take part in efforts to resolve existing problems, so that the people of Jambi Province get comfort and conditions in Jambi Province remain conducive," concluded Al Haris.
