WAMENA - The Border Security Task Force (Pamtas) of the 511/DY Yonif carried out an electrical network inspection and also increased the Free Health Check (CKG) program in Nombume Village, Makki District, Lanny Jaya Regency, Papua Mountains.

Danpos Malagai Satgas Pamtas Yonif 511/DY Kapten Sena Nurjabbar said the service was a quick response to the condition of residents after the fire incident that hit the area.

"We are conducting intensive inspections of the electrical installations in Nombume Village after the fire, as well as checking the health of residents to avoid various diseases," Sena said in a statement received in Wamena, Antara, Tuesday, April 21.

He explained that the inspection of the electrical network aims to ensure that there is no short circuit (short circuit) that has the potential to trigger a follow-up fire. Technical teams were sent down to comb through the remaining installations, especially the cables that were damaged by the heat.

In addition, health soldiers from Pos Malagai are also active in visiting emergency tents to provide medical services to affected residents.

"Services include treatment of mild diseases, blood pressure checks, and the provision of vitamins and supplements to maintain the residents' body resistance in the midst of limited facilities," he said.

According to Sena, this activity is part of the TNI's humanitarian duty in helping people who are affected by disasters, as well as ensuring that the environment is safe before residents return to their activities.

Not only health services, TNI personnel also provide psychosocial assistance to help restore the mental condition of residents after the incident.

"We want to ensure that people feel safe and get back on their feet. This assistance is important so that residents can recover both physically and mentally," he said.

The activity was appreciated by local community leaders who assessed that the presence of the Task Force was very helpful in handling the impact of the disaster comprehensively.
