Government Encourages Use of SNI-Certified Clay Roof Tiles for Public Housing
Minister of Home Affairs Muhammad Tito Karnavian officially flagged off the departure of 125 trucks carrying clay roof tiles. This activity is part of the 'Gentengisasi' (Roofing) Program, which aims to improve the quality of housing for people in Indonesia.
This program focuses on the use of roof tiles that have met the Indonesian National Standard (SNI). The government hopes that the use of these standardized materials will provide better safety and comfort for homeowners, especially in facing various weather conditions.
In addition to improving building quality, this program also serves as a form of government support for local products. By using domestically produced clay roof tiles, the government aims to stimulate the economy for local artisans while providing affordable building materials for the community.
The truck departure ceremony was held as a symbol of the start of material distribution to various regions in sub-districts that are in need. Local governments are expected to oversee this distribution process to ensure that the roof tile assistance reaches the right targets and that residents can immediately feel the benefits.
Overall, this initiative demonstrates the government's commitment to improving public housing standards. It is hoped that this roofing program can continue and reach more families in every corner of Indonesia so that they may have more livable homes.
