Six special crossing paths for elephants are to be built along the Pekanbaru-Dumai toll road project, in a bid to protect the elephants’ habitat.

"There will be six crossing paths. One in Tekuana River, and five others in section 4 near the Balai Raja Wildlife Reserve," an official of PT Hutama Karya (Persero) for the Pekanbaru-Dumai project section 3-4 Dinny Suryakencana said in Pekanbaru, Riau on Monday.

The 131.48-kilometer long toll road is part of the Trans Sumatra Toll project, which has been designated as one of the national strategic programs.

The Public Works and Public Housing Ministry has routed the toll road to not pass near the protected forest, but it could not avoid passing through the elephants' home range, Suryakencana said.

The first path in Tekuana River would be in section 2 of the road, not far from the Minas Elephant Training Center in Siak District, a home for 13 wild Sumatran elephants. Five other routes are located in section 4 of the toll road project.

The crossing path would be a channel 4.5 to 11 meters in height and 25-45 meters in width that passes below the toll road. Workers will also grow some plants in the channel for the elephants.

Suryakencana disclosed that some construction workers have seen wild elephants and their trails at the location where the crossing path is to be built.

"This path is being prepared for elephants, and is not like other roads in the village, as we will maintain its natural contour," he said.

Meanwhile, head of Riau Natural Conservation Agency Suharyono said there are eight potential meeting points of the toll road and the elephants' home range around its enclave in Balai Raja Wildlife Reserves in Bengkalis District and Giam Siak Kecil.

The Balai Raja Wildlife Reserves includes six elephants, while in Giam Siak Kecil the agency has recorded some 50 to 60 wild elephants.

"The closest range between the toll road and the wildlife reserves is 65 meters, with six elephants staying in the reserves and 42 elephants moved regularly from Balai Raja to Giam Siak Kecil," he said. (ant)

Good afternoon!
I prepared the new official report about reception for you.
I sent you my previous official report on March 8, 2016.
You answered me that you will send me the QSL card.
Unfortunately at the moment I didn't receive the letter from you.

Dear Sir/Madam,

21 February, International Mother Language Day; Congratulation.
13 February, world radio day; Congratulation. 
I am a Bangladeshi freelance journalist, researcher, social activist. I am
requesting your country to broadcast program in Bangla (Bengali). 

It is perhaps the only language on the basis of which an independent state was
created (Bangladesh). At present, in terms of the number of native speakers in any
language; Bangla is the 7th and more than 250 million people speaking Bangla.
According to one statistic in 2050 the number of its speaker will in the age group
between 14 to 25 rises into 316 million.

Bangla is the state language of Bangladesh and one of the 18 language listed in the
Indian constitution. Also 2002 Sierra Leone declares Bangla one of their state
languages. 

Moreover Bangla is the only language on the earth for which its speakers late their
life and UN declare 21st February on the International Mother Language Day. This day
was introduced by the UNESCO in recognition of the sanctity and preservation of all
vernacular language in the world. This event began being observed from 21st February
2000 throughout the world.
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bengali_Language_Movement)

Bangladesh, India, UK, Portugal, Japan, Australia have already build Shaheed Minar
(Language Moment) in honor of language martyrs and mother tongue of all other nation
and ethnic. A similar monument is going to build in many countries in the world.
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaheed_Minar,_Dhaka)

A large number of Bangla speaking people live in different parts of the world;
including your country. At present the national radio of USA, UK, Germany, Italy,
Iran, China, Japan, Russia, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Radio Veritas Asia, Trans
World Radio, Adventist World Radio, United Nations Radio have already broadcasting
Bangla programs.

Please broadcast Bangla program. The Bangla program in your media will help build
strong relationship between two different cultures.

Wishes
Rezaul Amin
