PALANGKA RAYA - Central Kalimantan Governor Sugianto Sabran said the holy month of Ramadan 1443 Hijri was a momentum to increase togetherness.

"During this month of Ramadan, we can increase togetherness by sharing with others," said Sugianto Sabran in Palangka Raya, Monday, April 4.

Especially for Muslims who are expected to be able to fill the month of Ramadan with various recommended worship, as well as other useful activities to increase charity and worship to Allah SWT.

One of the things the Governor did during the month of Ramadan this time was visiting the residents in a number of residential areas in Palangka Raya.

Sugianto, on Sunday afternoon, April 3, visited a number of residents in the area along the Kahayan River, precisely on Kalimantan Street. He monitors the activities of residents on the first day of the month of Ramadan.

On this occasion, he greeted and conversed with a number of elderly people he met and provided a number of material assistance to them.

This activity is also at the same time to know the development of the condition of the residents directly, to make an inventory of various obstacles and needs of the residents.

"I have ordered the local Neighborhood Unit to monitor the condition of its residents if they need assistance and in this case, the Provincial Government is ready to support," he said, quoted by Antara.

Sugianto also asked the Social Service and other related parties to monitor the condition of residents and help those who need assistance, especially the elderly.

Then he also invited all parties to take advantage of the month of Ramadan to increase tolerance in the community by respecting and appreciating each other.

Currently, community and inter-religious friendships in Central Kalimantan have been well established. For this reason, it is hoped that this condition can be maintained and improved in the future.

In addition, the public is reminded to apply health protocols considering the COVID-19 pandemic has not ended, including washing hands, wearing masks, keeping distance, and others.

"Still comply with health protocols during the pandemic, as an effort to prevent the spread of COVID-19," he said.
