The special housing program for residents whose houses are affected by the construction of the Mandalika Circuit, which has successfully held the Asian Talent Cup and World Superbike 2021 events, will be equipped with several public facilities such as places of worship and road access to the housing.

"The building concept is like housing," he said.
