The Riau Islands Provincial Government (Pemprov Kepri) allocated a budget of IDR 7 billion in 2023 to work on an increase in three roads in Batam City.
"This road increase is an effort by the Riau Islands Provincial Government to provide ease of community mobility and equal distribution of development in the regions," said Riau Islands Governor Ansar Ahmad in Tanjungpinang, Antara, Monday, March 27.
Ansar explained that the three roads that will be repaired by the Riau Islands Provincial Government in Batam this year are the improvement of Jalan Muka Kuning - Tanjung Piayu with a budget value of IDR 3 billion.
Then the improvement of the Access Road to Kampung Mergung Kampung Tua in Tanjung Memban, Batu Besar Village, with a budget of IDR 3 billion, and an increase in the road to schools in Tiban Indah with a budget of IDR 1 billion.
"All the road work packages are in the process of being auctioned and immediately carried out so that the benefits can be felt by the Batam community," said Ansar.
Governor Ansar emphasized that he had never made a specific area in the Riau Islands Province. For him, the mandate as the Riau Islands Governor is a position that must be done by paying attention to all local districts and cities.
According to him, it has become the obligation of the Riau Islands Provincial Government to pay attention to development in all regions, including in Batam. For residential areas, they will be assisted through the main ideas of DPRD members, due to the limitations of the provincial government to reach there.
"So all regions are given their respective portion of development. We are also encouraging development in other districts, such as Lingga, Natuna, and Anambas Islands," said Ansar.
