West Java Provincial Government Allocates Rp230 Billion for Majalengka Infrastructure

The West Java Provincial Government has allocated Rp230 billion for infrastructure development and maintenance in Majalengka Regency. The funding is intended to ensure that roads under provincial authority remain in good condition.

West Java Governor Dedi Mulyadi made the announcement while inspecting a regency road in Andir Village, Jatiwangi District, Majalengka, on Friday (6 November).

He said the allocation was expected to help improve roads in Majalengka, particularly those under the provincial government’s responsibility.

“Majalengka Regency has received an infrastructure allocation of Rp230 billion. One regency, smooth roads,” he said in a written statement on Tuesday (10 November).

Dedi emphasised that damage to roads in Majalengka did not automatically fall under the provincial government’s responsibility. The road’s administrative jurisdiction must be established to determine which authority is responsible for repairs.

“So if there is a damaged road, it does not belong to the province. It belongs to the regency. Next year, it will be another regency,” he explained.

In addition to allocating funds for road development and maintenance, the West Java Provincial Government has also prepared a dedicated workforce to keep roads in the area clean.

Dedi said eight workers had recently been hired for cleaning duties, each earning Rp4 million.

“I have just hired eight workers here for cleaning duties. They are paid Rp4 million each, so their economic circumstances can improve,” he concluded.
