Emphasizing the importance of the Soldiers’ role, the Commander of 432 Task Forces, Lieutenant Colonel Zulfikar Akbar Helmi, stressed the need for the Task Forces to pay attention to the community’s basic needs around the Post. In response, the Yigi Post, led by First Lieutenant Gayuh Nanda Prayudin, has been actively observing and addressing the developments in its area since the beginning of its duties. Recognizing that lighting public places, especially roads and yards where residents live, is a basic necessity for the Yigi community to facilitate activities at night, 1LT Gayuh led his Soldiers to install solar cell lamps as public lighting facilities. Prior to this, 1LT Gayuh had a discussion with the Yigi Village Leaders and Community Figures to determine the location and need for the lighting installation.

During the lighting installation, the Soldiers, while maintaining security as their top priority, received valuable help and support from the residents. This collaborative effort not only ensured the smooth and efficient running of the installation process but also surpassed the initial planning predictions. As a result, on Sunday afternoon, the Yigi residents were provided with 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 432. We are very happy that our Honais and Roads are no longer dark. God bless TNI.”
