After the prayer, the President greeted residents and symbolically distributed food aid packages. The visit reflected the government’s direct support for communities affected by natural disasters.

He also inspected temporary shelters built for displaced residents near the mosque, offering encouragement and attention to their current living conditions.

Batola Provides Free Speedboat Mudik Via River to Kuripan

Batola offers free river mudik via speedboat to Kuripan. This program helps residents travel home safely and comfortably during Lebaran.

MARABAHAN – Great news for residents planning to travel home for Lebaran. The Barito Kuala Regency Government (Batola) in South Kalimantan is launching a free river mudik program to Kuripan District.

This program provides a practical solution for residents who face difficulties traveling by road.

Jaya Hidayatullah, Head of Batola Transportation Department, said the government has prepared four speedboats to ensure smooth mudik this year.

“The free mudik program runs for four days before Eid al-Fitr for departures and four days after for return trips,” he said in Marabahan on Thursday.

River Access is Key

The program isn’t just a service—it’s a necessity. Geographically, many areas in Batola are hard to reach by road.

Kuripan District is a prime example, where residents heavily rely on river transport as their main mobility option.

Registered residents depart from Siring Ulek Marabahan Dock, traveling along the Barito River to Kuripan.

Preserving Local Wisdom

Beyond transportation, this program reflects the local government’s attention to culture and the traditional lifestyle of riverside communities.

Water transport isn’t just a choice—it’s part of daily life.

“Interest is always high every year, so we continue to hold this river mudik program,” Jaya added.

Safe, Comfortable, and Orderly

The government ensures all speedboats are safe and well-maintained.

Passengers are also encouraged to follow safety rules to ensure a smooth trip.

With this program, residents can celebrate Eid with family without worrying about transportation access.
