NDUGA - In a heartwarming display of service, the Indonesian Armed Forces (TNI) Task Forces from the Para Raider Infantry Battalion 503/Mayangkara Kostrad provided crucial medical care to the remote village of Banggabeak, nestled in Nduga Regency, Papua Pegunungan Province.

Brigadier General Lucky Avianto, Commanding General of HABEMA, lauded the efforts of the 503 Task Forces, saying, “Their initiative to bring medical care to this remote village reflects TNI’s deep commitment to improving the welfare of the people and supporting the acceleration of development in Papua.” His recognition not only celebrated the success of this mission but also highlighted its broader impact on the region’s progress, fostering hope and optimism for a more prosperous future.
The ongoing presence of the TNI and its dedication to both security and community welfare are vital to creating a stable, thriving Papua.
