"As of the first quarter of 2023, Kodam IX/Udayana has carried out a rehabilitation program for uninhabitable houses for the poor or underprivileged as many as 100 housing units, in which the determination of RTLH rehabilitation was carried out by data collection and directly selected by the Babinsa who know better the condition of their target areas," explained the Pangdam.
