MARO: Kampung Batang Maro villagers call on responsible parties to speed up the construction of the gravel road to their village.

The villagers also hoped that the road can be completed before the Hari Raya (as promised to them before this).

According to one of the villagers, the completion of the gravel road was very important to them as it would replace the river transportation which is the main transportation of the people there.

“Road development in Kampung Batang Maro is left far behind from other villages that are already enjoying road facilities, we are tired of using boat services!” he said.

The villager added the responsible contractor was seen piling the road (about 1.2km long) that could not be used because it was sunken.

The construction the gravel road starting from Kampung Batang Maro to Kalik (Jalan Pusa-Sessang) was once a project under the Rural Transformation Programme (RTP) at a cost of RM1.5 million including the construction of two bridges on the same route.

However, due to some of its unusable routes, an additional allocation of RM600,000 was channeled by the state government to complete the gravel road that is expected to be used before the Hari Raya.
