Nias and Mandailing Christmas are Priority

Acting Regional Secretary for East Sumatra Province, Tumanggor, revealed that the North Sumatra ESDM Service had received 117 proposed locations for the Lisdes program.

Of the total proposals, 47 locations are in five priority districts, namely Nias, North Nias, West Nias, South Nias and Mandailing Natal.

Timur asked all parties to take advantage of technical assistance sessions or coaching clinics in this activity to resolve licensing obstacles. This step is expected to support the realization of electricity flow to the proposed location in 2027.

"Regardless of the obstacles, barriers and barriers that exist, whether due to difficult locations, protected forest areas, or conservation areas, do not let administrative problems hinder the flow of electricity to our hamlets. This is our moral responsibility and main duty as community servants," emphasized Timur.

According to him, access to electricity has an important role in driving the economy, supporting education and improving community welfare.
