If it’s not repaired immediately, it will certainly have a direct effect on the activities and wheels of the economy of the Intan Jaya community,” said the commander.

Furthermore, the commander and the Regent discussed plans for activities that will be held to celebrate the 78th Indonesian Independence Day and the mechanism for distributing village funds. “Given the potential vulnerabilities that arise if the timing of the distribution of village funds is related to the lively activities of the 78th Indonesian Independence Day, it is suggested that the time be postponed after the August activities.
