Head of PMI Blora Sutikno Slamet said clean water assistance was routinely provided during the dry season. This assistance is PMI's concern for Blora residents.
“Every dry season we routinely provide clean water assistance. Usually residents ask us for help and then we drop them according to our abilities. This is a form of our concern for the needs of residents. On average, we help one to three tanks,'' he said. (Endah / IST )
