JAKARTA - Madiun City Government, East Java allocated Rp 5 billion through the 2022 Financial Budget Amendment (PAK) to build cottages for the elderly (elderly) in the local area.
Mayor of Madiun Maidi said the construction of the elderly hut aims to facilitate the elderly in Madiun City, in particular, for the elderly who have not been cared for.
