INFOKU, BLORA – There are hundreds of hectares of slum areas in Blora that have not yet been resolved. The slum area alleviation program cannot yet be continued.
This is because the proposed budget for alleviation using general allocation funds (DAU) has been exhausted.
Apart from that, special allocation funds (DAK) also failed to be obtained.

Head of the Housing and Settlement Division (Kabid) of the Blora Housing, Settlement and Transportation Service (Dinrumkimhub) Denny Adhiharta Setiawan said that the problem of slum areas is still Blora's homework .
