Moreover, clearing both organic and non-organic waste aimed to mitigate the proliferation of mosquito larvae in stagnant water, thus reducing the risk of diseases such as Dengue Fever (DBD).
"It is our hope that through this Karya Bakti activity, the Welonge traditional market and its surroundings will remain clean—a pivotal gathering place for both merchants and buyers. May this endeavor also safeguard our health and shield us from adversities and illnesses while strengthening the bond between the TNI and the people," expressed Sergeant Jaliluddin in conclusion.
