Aifat Maybrat, SABTANEWS.COM – The 501 Task Forces of the Para Raider Infantry Battalion 501/Bajra Yudha Kostrad, a military unit under the command of the Indonesian Armed Forces Operational Command HABEMA, is currently conducting mobile security at the border of Indonesia and Papua New Guinea. Their unique role includes providing for the community’s basic needs, a task they undertook on Sunday, 27 October 2024, when they secured the Ainod Village, Aifat District, and held a Territorial activity entitled "Papua Terang (Bright Papua)." This program is an implementation of installing solar cell lamps in residential areas and on public roads in the Ainod Village.
Commander of the 501 Task Forces, Lieutenant Colonel Yakhya Wisnu Arianto, underscored the Task Forces' commitment to addressing the community's basic needs around the Post. In response, the Soldiers have been actively observing and addressing the developments in their area since the beginning of their duties. Recognizing that lighting public places, especially roads and yards where residents live, is a basic necessity for the Ainod community to facilitate activities at night, the Soldiers tried to install solar cell lamps as public lighting facilities. Prior to this, the Soldiers discussed the location and need for the lighting installation with the Ainod Village Leaders and Community Figures.
While maintaining security as their top priority during the lighting installation, the Soldiers received invaluable help and support from the residents. This collaborative effort, where the community played an integral role, ensured the smooth and efficient running of the installation process and surpassed the initial planning predictions. As a result, on Sunday afternoon, the Ainod residents were provided adequate lighting facilities. Welcoming the long-awaited public lighting installation, a Community Figure, Mr. Waipan Murib, expressed his gratitude, saying, 'Praise God, thank you Commander 501. We are delighted that our Honais and Roads are no longer dark. God bless TNI.'
Upon receiving the activity report, the HABEMA Commanding General, Brigadier General Lucky Avianto, praised the 501 Task Forces’ inspiring initiative to hold the Bright Papua in Ainod Village. His words, 'The 501 Task Forces' initiative is a testament to TNI's commitment to provide the community’s basic need to support the acceleration of development in the Papua region.' He underscored the significant impact of such initiatives on the region's development. This recognition from the highest authority in HABEMA commends the Task Forces and acknowledges the community's efforts, making them feel appreciated and respected. It instills hope and optimism about their potential to shape the region's future positively.
