Every time it rains in the village, all the people feel worried about the condition of their embankments, which can no longer hold water. This is because the embankment has not been maintained by the government for a long time.

In this case, village funds must be prepared for an emergency response to disasters that may occur when it rains. The community can be helped with first aid from the village government.

Not to mention the village which has a main road to cross the river with a suspension bridge. Until now the bridge is no longer fit for habitation. Village heads have used various methods to obtain assistance from the government. Considering this bridge is one of the bridges connecting the two districts.

There is no other way but across the river which has a width of about 20 meters. so it is very disturbing for residents who cross the bridge. This bridge is more than 30 years old. So it is feasible to get help for heavy rehabilitation costs.

this morning a team from the public works department came down to see the condition of the suspension bridge which was unfit for habitation. Based on information from the village head, many people have been complaining about the safety of their children crossing the suspension bridge.

Especially when it rains and the wind is strong, most people prefer to stay at home without crossing the bridge. Given the danger is in sight if forced to cross.

There are around 150 families who use the bridge, they all depend on the government to immediately carry out heavy rehabilitation so that this bridge has resilience when cars, vehicles, and people pass through it.

All youth and women, as well as community leaders, accompanied the district government team in checking the condition of the bridge. And all of them expressed their desire and desire to repair the bridge. So that the economic wheels of rural communities do not stop and their children can continue their education without any obstacles faced in crossing the river which is quite wide.

The government immediately responded to all the problems faced by the community. So that in the near future a technical team will be dispatched to analyze the level of damage that must be repaired using emergency response funds.
