Angels of Death Along the Roads of Rumpin Area
Source: Amadeus Doc
Dozens of lives have been lost over the years due to traffic accidents involving trucks carrying stones mixing with public vehicles on the Parung Panjang-Rumpin public road in Bogor Regency.
Dimly lit streets and irregular operating hours of mining trucks cause concern among residents as they traverse the roads of Rumpin, Kabupaten Bogor. Numerous casualties have resulted from these issues.
On the evening of June 5th, Amadeus editorial team, drove through these roads, passing from Grendong Bridge to Paranje Bridge, witnessing several heavy mining trucks during peak hours. The dim lighting further hampers drivers navigating through Rumpin.
Living along the route for transporting mining materials is no easy feat, and many residents of Rumpin struggle with large trucks.
Residents complain about the presence of these trucks due to pollution and dust they produced. Accidents frequently occur along the mining routes connecting Cigudeg, Rumpin, and Parungpanjang, exacerbated by road conditions.
Bogor, known as the City of Rain, and Rumpin, a sub-region of Bogor, often become slippery and waterlogged after rains due to severe road damage, disrupting road users, especially motorcyclists.
According to dinamika.news.id, through Jumat Curhat program by the Bogor Police, residents, including those from Rumpin, expressed their concerns. It was revealed that accidents often occur due to road conditions and inadequate lighting.
They lament severe road damage, hindering access and unpredictable mining transport operational hours. Overloaded mining trucks are also blamed for damaging roads in Rumpin, Kabupaten Bogor.
Moreover, inadequate street lighting in Rumpin contributes to increased incidents of robbery and motorcycle accidents, claiming many lives.
Despite Kabupaten Bogor Government's Regulation No. 120 of 2021, regulating mining operational hours from 20:00 WIB to 05:00 WIB, actual practices differ significantly.
Life Is Not as Valuable as Mining
According to Ridwan Kamil's Instagram post in 2023, dozens of lives have been lost over the years due to traffic accidents involving trucks carrying stones mixing with public vehicles on the Parung Panjang-Rumpin public road in Kabupaten Bogor.
A circulated photo showed a person who perished on Jalan Prada Abdullah, Cipinang Village, Rumpin District, Kabupaten Bogor in December 2023, captioned "In our land, life is not as valuable as mining."
The victim, identified by initials MZ, was an 11th-grade high school student who died after his face hit the back of a parked truck in the driver’s lane while riding. Given the poorly lit road conditions, someone promptly reported the incident to the authorities.
This incident has sparked widespread attention in Rumpin, drawing scrutiny and outcry from student communities, human rights activists, and environmentalists who are grieving and angered, reflecting on previous cases. "The angels of death seem to have gathered along these damaged roads."
Hi there, ur article is clear n I also want to share a lil of my experience about the roads in my area which are damaged, but the government doesn't fix them. I hope that there will always be progress in the future for all of us.
ReplyDeleteNice artickle
ReplyDeleteBut I don't know how long my Rumpin will be like this (miris)
The government should improve vehicle routes. How could the street lights not be repaired? Sad to hear that someone has died due to government incompetence. RIP.
ReplyDeleteI found a good article, if the government should be more aware, it would be sad to hear that someone died
ReplyDeleteHi, It seems like the situation there is very concerning which as we know that bad air conditions can make people get a huge negative impact such as tuberculosis and others can be experienced.
ReplyDeleteThe government needs to take very serious action regarding this matter, not just silent and rigid like a stupid mouse that can't do anything. And one more thing is also not to forget to educate the public so as not to be left behind information and become an idiot.
What else can be done? Sometimes complaints are not heard, especially when they are only in writing. Even though the Rumpin road has become a witness to how much blood has been shed and tragic incidents have occurred. Do those in power still want to make that road a witness to the end of someone's life?
ReplyDeletebut in my opinion not only in Rumpin, there are also many accidents due to damaged roads or even vehicles with excessive loads, I hope the regulations can be stricter for the comfort and safety of everyone
Never been to Rumpin but heard it lately because I have a friend there too. I hope I can go there one day to feel this experience 😎

ReplyDeleteYour article is very good, Daffa....and local governments should be more concerned about things like this. Street lighting facilities must be available for public safety. Then, maybe it's not visible now, but breathing the dust produced by trucks over a long period of time will definitely have a bad impact on society.

ReplyDeletesuch a good article bro
ReplyDeleteGood article, it is indeed appropriate that we should be careful when passing through the Rumpin area, pay more attention to our surroundings when driving a vehicle, and hope that the government does not neglect things like this but immediately takes action to prevent it.
ReplyDeleteIt is true that the Rumpin area is famous for the many trucks that pass by every day and sometimes it is not uncommon for many roads to be damaged and have holes. Regardless of what happens, we must maintain our security and hope that the government will resolve this problem as soon as possible.
ReplyDeleteAir pollution occurs due to the large number of passing vehicles, especially trucks, which cause the Rumpin area to be covered by pollution caused by trucks almost every day.
ReplyDeleteRumpin isnt just a place, but it is a home for my homie, all of them, hopefully Rumpin will be better
ReplyDeleteNice Article, Exposure to air pollution from large trucks can increase the risk of health problems such as respiratory diseases, heart disease, and even cancer. Fine particles from emissions can enter the respiratory system and cause various health problems.
ReplyDeletePerhaps improving infrastructure such as more efficient logistics routes and the use of traffic management technology could help reduce truck travel times and emissions.
ReplyDeletei feel so sad about what happen on the Parung Panjang-Rumpin public road in Kabupaten Bogor. Hope the government can give the best solution for this problem.
ReplyDeletePollution from heavy trucks is a complex issue that requires integrated solutions. Cleaner technologies, stricter regulations, improved infrastructure, and increased awareness are all important steps in reducing the impact of this pollution. While the challenges are significant, these steps can help create a healthier and more sustainable environment.
ReplyDeleteThis is very bad, because it can reduce air quality. Emissions from large trucks can reduce air quality, affect people's well-being, and reduce the quality of life, especially in dense urban areas.
ReplyDeletenot only climate change but also ecosystem damage. The resulting air pollution can damage local ecosystems, including plants and soil. Acid rain, produced from nitrogen oxides, can damage plants and water resources.
ReplyDeleteLarge trucks often operate in urban areas and main roads, which can cause high concentrations of pollution in densely populated areas, worsening air quality in places with a lot of human activity.
ReplyDeleteLarge trucks that fill the roads and cause damage is a problem that requires serious attention from various parties. An approach involving good infrastructure planning, strict regulation, effective maintenance, and the use of innovative technologies can help reduce the negative impacts. With the right solutions, the impact of road damage can be minimized, improving the safety, efficiency, and sustainability of the transportation system.
ReplyDeleteThis can also pose an accident hazard, potholes and road damage can cause accidents, especially for light vehicle drivers who may not be able to avoid the pothole quickly. These damages can also increase the risk of skidding and losing control.
ReplyDeleteThis is a serious problem that needs to be addressed immediately.
ReplyDeleteThis can result in noise and pollution. Damaged roads can increase noise and pollution because trucks have to operate in less than optimal conditions. Vibrations and impacts from damaged roads can also increase emissions from vehicles.
ReplyDeleteTrucks also need maximum load regulation. Enforcing maximum load limits for trucks and monitoring compliance can help reduce road damage. Regular inspections and sanctions for violators can improve compliance.
ReplyDeleteThis is annoying because these large trucks can increase maintenance costs. Road damage caused by large trucks requires expensive repairs, which ultimately burdens the government and community budgets.
ReplyDeleteOf course, traffic accidents continue to occur because of this. Large trucks can cause traffic accidents, both due to their size and weight that affect maneuvering on the road and due to road damage caused by the truck.
ReplyDeleteIt can also affect the quality of life. Air pollution and noise from large trucks can reduce people's quality of life, causing discomfort and stress.
ReplyDeleteThe need for driver education (raising awareness among truck drivers about environmental and safety impacts) and public awareness campaigns (educating the public about the impacts of large trucks and encouraging support for sustainable solutions.)
ReplyDeleteThe most impactful are respiratory disorders (emissions from large trucks, especially fine particles and nitrogen oxides, can cause or worsen respiratory health problems such as asthma and bronchitis. Long-term exposure to pollution can also contribute to heart disease and stroke.)
ReplyDeleteThe need for engine innovation (More efficient engine technology and better emission control systems on diesel trucks can reduce the amount of pollutants produced.)
ReplyDeleteWow this article reveals the critical situation on the Parung Panjang-Rumpin road, Bogor Regency, regarding public safety due to mining truck operations. But, to strengthen the article, it is recommended to add information about applied regulations, accident statistics, testimonials from residents and authorities, potential solutions for improvement.
ReplyDeleteVery good article, nice.
ReplyDeleteAs a Rumpinian (wkwjw), I really empathize with the events around my house, every time I go back to home from school, I feel it, the dusts is very disturbing
ReplyDeleteAn extraordinary article
ReplyDeleteI once lived in Rumpin and I felt in the past that almost all the roads were the same as described in the article, but I didn't expect this to still happen now, hopefully the local government can fix it so that nothing bad happens.
