        "summary": "Residents and students in Banyuasri, Buleleng, are voicing frustration over the severely deteriorated condition of Jalan Abimanyu, which has remained unrepaired since at least 2021. The damaged road surface and lack of street lighting pose safety risks for the many motorists and students who use the route daily. Calls are mounting for the Buleleng Regency Government to immediately repair the short but critical stretch of road and improve public lighting.",
        "content": "<p>The condition of Abimanyu Road in Banyuasri Village, Buleleng\nDistrict, Bali, is in a distressing state. This stretch of road, which\nserves as a primary access route to residential areas and student\nboarding houses, has been severely damaged and remains unrepaired for\nseveral years.<\/p>\n<p>Observations at the location on Tuesday (7\/7\/2026) show that the\nasphalt surface has peeled away at several points, leaving behind a\nlayer of coarse stones. Potholes of varying depths are also gaping\nacross the roadway, forcing motorists, particularly motorcyclists, to\nreduce their speed and manoeuvre carefully to avoid them.<\/p>\n<p>Fauzi Hariri, a local student, stated that the condition has\npersisted since he began his studies in 2021. As of mid-2026, he noted\nthat there have been no signs of government intervention or repairs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSince I started university in 2021 until now in 2026, there has been\nno repair at all. Although the road is not long, only about 20 to 30\nmetres, the condition is still damaged,\u201d said Fauzi on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>The Undiksha student added that the damage is not limited to a single\nspot but affects two access roads, both of which are filled with stones\nand potholes. This situation, he noted, disrupts comfort and poses a\ndanger to road users.<\/p>\n<p>Fauzi explained that Abimanyu Road is a relatively busy access point\nbecause it is situated within a residential area surrounded by student\nboarding houses. The area also hosts several public facilities,\nincluding the secretariat of the Hindu Religious Conference (PHDI),\nresulting in high daily traffic volumes.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the damaged road, Fauzi highlighted the lack of public\nstreet lighting in the area. He noted that the darkness at night\nsignificantly increases the risk of accidents.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are many students living in boarding houses here. At night,\nthe lighting is very poor; if I am not mistaken, there are only one or\ntwo lamps. This condition certainly makes residents uncomfortable when\npassing through,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Fauzi expressed his hope that the Buleleng Regency Government will\npromptly repair Abimanyu Road and increase street lighting facilities.\nHe emphasised that even though the damaged section is only about 20-30\nmetres long, the repairs would have a significant impact on the safety\nand comfort of the residents and students who traverse the route\ndaily.<\/p>",
