Different from previous years. If previously the Regent only cut the tumpeng for the anniversary and handed it over to the Chairperson of the DPRD, now Regent Arief invited all the elders of the former Regent and Deputy Regent to join the tumpeng cutting stage together.
The first tumpeng was made by Regent Arief and handed over to the DPRD chairman.
Followed by the second tumpeng piece by the Regent to Pak Yudhi Sancoyo, the third tumpeng piece to Pak Djoko Nugroho. Followed by the fourth and fifth tumpeng pieces by Deputy Regent Tri Yuli Setyowati which were handed over to Mr. Subronto Yusuf, and Mr. Abu Nafi.
Everyone then took a group photo with a shadow puppet screen as a backdrop.
At the peak of Blora's 273rd anniversary, Regent Arief conveyed the development achievements that had been carried out since taking office from 2021 to 2022.
As an effort to realize Dalan Alus, the Regent said that in 2021 39.3 KM of road construction had been carried out with a budget of IDR 115 billion.
"Then in 2022 the length of the road built is 109.3 KM with a budget of IDR 307 billion, there is a 3-fold increase. We also thank the Bojonegoro Regency Government for participating in providing Bankeu for the construction of road infrastructure. Most of us are rigid concrete so that it is more durable," said the Regent.
Furthermore, according to the Regent, the latest news came from the Oil and Gas Revenue Sharing Fund.
Meanwhile, Yudhi Sancoyo, former Regent of Blora 2007-2010, in his speech representing the elders of the former Regional Heads, appreciated the steps taken by Regent Arief Rohman.
