Perintis Garuda Suspension Bridge Built in Majalengka, Residents No Longer Rely on Paid Bamboo Bridge

Budi, a resident of Bantarjati, admitted that his area often faced clean water shortages during the dry season.

Residents’ wells would dry up, forcing them to ration water to ensure continuous access.

"We hope the bore wells will help us residents of Bantarjati who always struggle to get clean water during the dry season," Budi said.

Majalengka Regent Eman Suherman also highly praised the TNI’s swift action in executing physical infrastructure projects.

Eman noted that the TNI’s infrastructure assistance significantly supports the local government amid fiscal constraints due to budget efficiency measures.

"Without collaboration, we would not succeed. Amid fiscal pressure on the Regional Revenue and Expenditure Budget (APBD), the President decreed a physical program for the TNI to execute jointly with regional governments. This drastically cuts residents’ travel time," said Eman.

The local government along with Kodim 0617/Majalengka hope the community will collaborate to maintain and care for the newly built facilities so they can be used long-term.
