        "content": "<p>The Pandeglang district government has spoken out regarding the\ndemands of residents of Cijaralang Village, Cimanggu District,\nconcerning a damaged road. The incident also drew a response from the\nBanten Provincial Government.<\/p>\n<p>Head of the Pandeglang Public Works and Spatial Planning Agency\n(DPUPR), Roni, admitted he was questioned by Banten Governor Andra Soni\nand Head of the Banten DPUPR, Arlan Marzan, about the road conditions\ncomplained of by residents. According to him, the provincial government\nresponded to the viral incident.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Yesterday at the pendopo during the Jalan Inpres Daerah (JID) event,\nthe provincial government responded,\u2019 Roni said when confirmed on\nWednesday (24\/6\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>He said the provincial government asked about the Detailed\nEngineering Design (DED) as a reference for the development plan.\nHowever, Roni stated that the Pandeglang district government does not\nyet have the DED.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018They asked, \u201cDo you have the DED yet?\u201d We don\u2019t have it yet because\nin Pandeglang, there is a new programme to create DEDs,\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n<p>Roni continued that the district government will propose the road\nconstruction to the provincial government on the condition that the DED\nis completed. He said that in the upcoming budget revision, his agency\nwill allocate funds for the DED.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018What is certain is that the DED will be budgeted in the budget\nrevision, because this is not a repair, it must be built,\u2019 he\nstated.<\/p>\n<p>It was previously known that a number of residents from five hamlets\nin Cijaralang Village, Cimanggu District, Pandeglang Regency, created a\npetition using their own blood. The residents demanded the repair of a\nroad that has been damaged for decades.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018For decades there has been no repair, it\u2019s completely broken,\u2019 said\nresident representative Sujana (22\/6\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>Sujana said 59 people representing the five hamlets made the petition\nby stamping their blood onto white paper containing signatures, hoping\nthe government would take action. According to him, the residents\u2019 blood\nsymbolises an emergency.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018It is a symbol of pain, the last drop of blood, a truly earnest\nplea, a symbol of emergency,\u2019 he said.<\/p>",
