Andra Soni advised them to always be enthusiastic in everything with existing limitations. The chairman of Koreda Banten, Nur Hadi Asmara, after the activity explaining that the event, which was held on Saturday (14/12), welcomed the commemoration day which falls on December 3.

At the same time, his party hopes that local governments can improve the welfare of persons with disabilities, one of which is to form a Disabilities Service Unit.

Head of the Manpower and Transmigration Office (Disnakertrans) of Banten Province, Septo Kalnadi, promised to immediately form the ULD as a form of implementation of related regulations.
