        "summary": "The Deputy Regent of Bogor, Ade Ruhandi, has warned that halting mining activities in the western part of the regency could significantly delay infrastructure development and strategic projects, including roads, schools, and health facilities, due to increased costs and supply disruptions for essential materials. He highlighted that sourcing materials from outside the area would raise prices substantially, potentially from Rp350,000 to Rp525,000\u2013Rp550,000 per cubic metre, and urged caution to avoid abandoning ongoing works. To address these issues, the local government is accelerating the construction of dedicated mining roads with a Rp100 billion budget, collaborating with businesses for land donations, while the provincial government allocates another Rp100 billion for related provincial roads, emphasising long-term solutions to balance community concerns and development needs.",
        "content": "<p>Bogor Regency (ANTARA) - Bogor Deputy Regent Ade Ruhandi stated that\nthe cessation of mining activities in the western region of Bogor\nRegency has the potential to impact the acceleration of infrastructure\ndevelopment and several strategic projects in the area.<\/p>\n<p>The man, familiarly known as Jaro Ade, when met in Cibinong on\nWednesday, explained that mining materials remain a primary need in the\nconstruction of roads, schools, health facilities, and national projects\ncurrently underway in the Bogor region.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGovernment development that is mandatory includes infrastructure,\nhealth, and education. All of them require materials,\u201d said Jaro\nAde.<\/p>\n<p>He emphasised that the Bogor Regency Government fully supports West\nJava Governor Dedi Mulyadi\u2019s steps in evaluating and improving mining\ngovernance in the Bogor region.<\/p>\n<p>Jaro Ade explained that the need for mining materials is also related\nto the development of national strategic projects, such as dams, toll\nroads, and the acceleration of repairing damaged roads in Bogor\nRegency.<\/p>\n<p>He assessed that a total halt to mining activities has the potential\nto trigger an increase in material prices because they must be brought\nin from outside the region.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf materials are procured from afar, the unit price becomes\nunreasonable. For example, the material price is Rp350,000 per cubic\nmetre; if from outside, it can reach Rp525,000 to Rp550,000,\u201d he\nsaid.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat must be wary of is that work in the middle of the road is not\nleft unfinished because there are no materials,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>He also asked the public to respond to the mining polemic wisely\nbecause the government is preparing short-term to long-term\nsolutions.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, public aspirations supporting or opposing mining\nactivities must both be respected because each has different\nreasons.<\/p>\n<p>The Bogor Regency Government, he continued, is currently accelerating\nthe construction of a special mining route as a long-term solution to\naddress traffic and social impact issues.<\/p>\n<p>He mentioned that a budget of around Rp100 billion has been prepared\nto support the acceleration of the construction of that mining road.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Regent has prepared a budget of Rp100 billion. We are also\nendeavouring to collaborate with businesspeople for land grants to\nreduce the regional budget allocation,\u201d said Jaro Ade.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, the West Java Provincial Government is said to have\nallocated a budget of around Rp100 billion for the construction of\nprovincial roads in the Parung Panjang area and surroundings.<\/p>\n<p>Jaro Ade asked the public to be patient in waiting for the mining\narrangement process and the preparation of supporting infrastructure\nbeing undertaken by the government.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Governor and the Regent certainly have the best concepts for the\nshort, medium, and long term for the interests of the Bogor Regency\ncommunity,\u201d he said.<\/p>",
