In the meeting, the Acting Head of Teluk Papal Village, Juniarto, S.Akun, emphasized that the process of determining BLT recipients must be carried out objectively and transparently, taking into account the criteria set by the government. He also asked all village officials, including hamlet heads, RT and RW heads, to play an active role in providing understanding to the community regarding the distribution mechanism for this assistance.
“I hope that all village officials can explain to the community who have not received assistance. Don’t be a provocateur, because this assistance issue is very sensitive,” said Juniarto in his speech.
