JAKARTA - Kapendam XVII Cenderawasih Lt. Col. Inf Chandra Kurniawan said the residents of Agandugume in Puncak Regency, Central Papua, said they were ready to secure the construction of a logistics warehouse in their village.

The statement made by the residents of Agandugume was revealed when they visited Sinak to see the construction of a logistics warehouse built by TNI soldiers in Sinak.

"It is true that there are two residents of Agandugume, namely those who saw the construction of a logistics warehouse in Sinak," said Kapendam XVII Cenderawasih Lt. Col. Inf Chandra Kurniawan in Jayapura, Tuesday, May 7, which was confiscated by Antara.

He conveyed that the two people who visited the implementation of the construction of a logistics warehouse by Infantry Battalion 751/VJS were Andi Tabuni as a community leader and traditional leader Zinal Murib.

"After seeing the process of building the logistics warehouse, both of them stated that they were ready to secure the construction of a similar warehouse in their village," said Chandra.

Kapendam admitted, from the reports received, it was revealed that the people of Agandugume really wanted the immediate construction of a logistics warehouse in their area not to worry when facing the extreme dry season and to avoid a hunger disaster.

The construction of logistics warehouses financed by BNPB was built in Sinak and Agandugume to help the community when facing extreme weather where their plants die and cannot be consumed.

"The people of Agandugume hope that logistics warehouses will soon be built in their area," said Kapendam XVII/Cenderawasih Lt. Col. Inf Chandra Kurniawan quoting the statement from the residents of Agandugume.

Previously, in July 2023, people in the Districts of Agandugume and Lambewi were reported to have experienced starvation due to dead tubers due to extreme weather.
