The provincial road to Samarkilang, Main Shia Sub-district, Bener Meriah, still barrier of land since independent Indonesia 74 years ago. Main Shi'ites who enter in remote areas have never been touched asphalt.
Sadra Munawar, the main Shiite citizen, told Serambi on Saturday (4/3) that the opening of the road from Pondok Baru to Samarkilang had been done in 2002, however, the development is only limited to the opening of roads. As a result, the main Shi'a who has 29 villages have been isolated since tens of years ago.
The condition of roads since Indonesia stood unsealed, so when drought, dust flew, otherwise during the rainy season, mud puddles scattered along the road, he said.
Da explained, in the dry season there are eight points of the road is very worrying, because there are springs around the road that flows into the road, until the mud is formed. As in Pucuk Nuning, Iyong Koro, and Keken, if at that point we pass, then the water with the mud overflows, not infrequently our vehicles stuck there, again.
Meanwhile, with the worrisome road conditions, aggravated again by passing trucks wooden, results of illegal logging that loaded dozens of tons of wood. It is said, the trucks are fast towards or from Samarkilang, so the road conditions like buffalo buffalo.
The timber trucks should not apply during the rainy season, because the roads are difficult to navigate, even often impassable, added Sadra Munawar.
It is said, with the condition of the provincial road that is not asphalted like buffalo puddles, then the main Shia people who like as farmers hard to remove the harvest.
It's been a long time since we've been releasing crops, like chili, rice, beans, betel and chocolate. Finally, the crop can not be brought to the market in Redelong, Sadra added.
Apart from that, he continued, the distance to his residence with the district capital is not far away, but must be taken with a trip that takes up to eight hours.
In Indonesian :
Jalan provinsi menuju Samarkilang, Kecamatan Syiah Utama, Bener Meriah, masih berkalang tanah sejak Indonesia merdeka 74 tahun lalu. Syiah Utama yang masuk dalam wilayah terpencil belum pernah tersentuh aspal. Sadra Munawar, warga Syiah Utama, kepada Serambi, Sabtu (4/3) menyatakan, pembukaan jalan dari Pondok Baru menuju Samarkilang memang telah dilakukan pada tahun 2002, Namun, pembangunan hanya sebatas pembukaan jalan saja. Alhasil, Syiah Utama yang memiliki 29 kampung sudah terisolir sejak puluhan tahun lalu.
Kondisi jalan sejak Indonesia berdiri belum diaspal, sehingga saat kemarau, debu beterbangan, sebaliknya saat musim hujan, kubangan lumpur bertaburan di sepanjang jalan, katanya.
Da jelaskan, pada musim kemarau ada delapan titik jalan yang sangat mengkhwatirkan, karena ada mata air di sekitar jalan yang mengalir ke badan jalan, hingga terbentuk kubangan lumpur. Seperti di Pucuk Nuning, Iyong Koro, dan Keken, jika di titik itu kita melintas, maka air bersama lumpur meluber, tak jarang kendaraan kami tersangkut di sana, ujarnya lagi.
Sementara itu, dengan kondisi jalan yang mengkhawatirkan tersebut, diperparah lagi dengan lalu lalang truk penganggkut kayu, diduga hasil illegal logging yang bermuatan puluhan ton kayu. Dikatakan, truk-truk itu melaju ke atau dari Samarkilang, sehingga kondisi jalan terus seperti kubangan kerbau.
Seharusnya, truk pengangkut kayu tidak beroperasi saat musim hujan, karena jalan semakin sulit dilalui, bahkan kerap tidak bisa dilalui, tambah Sadra Munawar.
Dikatakan, dengan kondisi jalan provinsi itu yang tidak beraspal seperti kubangan kerbau, maka warga Syiah Utama yang mayoritas sebagai petani sulit mengeluarkan hasil panen.
Sudah sejak lama kami kesulitan mengeluarkan hasil panen, seperti cabai, padi, kacang, pinang, dan cokelat. Akhirnya, hasil panen tidak bisa dibawa ke pasar di Redelong, tambah Sadra.
Padahal, lanjutnya, jarak tempat tinggalnya dengan ibu kota kabupaten tidak jauh, tetapi harus ditempuh dengan perjalanan yang memakan waktu hingga delapan jam.
Kami berharap, pihak provinsi lebih peduli kepada kami, karena sudah lama kami ingin menikmati kemerdekaan yang diberikan negara, ujarnya didampingi sejumlah warga Syiah Utama.
Kami hanya ingin jalan dibangun, seperti di wilayah laiinya di seluruh Aceh. Tapi kenapa warga Syiah Utama seperti diabaikan oleh pemerintah? tanya Sadra bernada pilu.
