        "summary": "Interior Minister Muhammad Tito Karnavian, also head of the National Border Management Agency (BNPP), has urged officials to effectively implement a housing renovation programme targeting 15,000 uninhabitable homes in Indonesia's border regions, in coordination with the Ministry of Housing and Settlement Areas. He emphasised utilising detailed socio-economic data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) to ensure the initiative reaches the right beneficiaries. The programme is expected to enhance community welfare, foster nationalism, and strengthen border defence as a buffer zone.",
        "content": "<p>Interior Minister (Mendagri) Muhammad Tito Karnavian, as Head of the\nNational Border Management Agency (BNPP), discussed preparations for a\nhousing programme in border areas. The discussion took place with BNPP\nSecretary Makhruzi Rahman and BNPP officials at the Ministry of Home\nAffairs (Kemendagri) headquarters in Jakarta on Tuesday (14\/4\/2026). On\nthat occasion, Tito urged BNPP officials to take advantage of the\nUninhabitable House Renovation (RTLH) programme initiated by the\nMinistry of Housing and Settlement Areas (PKP), which targets border\nareas. He mentioned that the Ministry of PKP has budgeted for the repair\nof 15,000 RTLH units in border regions. \u201cThis [Minister of PKP] Mr Ara\nhas conveyed 15,000 units, originally 10,000 units, now increased to\n15,000. Then, the task for BNPP, I ask you to grasp this programme well.\nImplement it with heart,\u201d Tito explained in a written statement received\nby Kompas.com. Meanwhile, for detailed data on programme beneficiaries,\nBNPP can coordinate with the Central Statistics Agency (BPS). This is\nbecause BPS already holds detailed data on the social and economic\nconditions of the population, including those living in RTLH. Thus, the\nprogramme\u2019s implementation can be more targeted according to beneficiary\ncriteria. \u201cBecause [BPS] has conducted a survey, the National Single\nSocial and Economic Data (DTSEN),\u201d Tito explained. Furthermore, he is\nconvinced that the programme will impact the improvement of community\nwelfare in border areas, thereby strengthening nationalism. \u201cTheir\nnationalism will emerge. That [will become] a buffer zone for defence,\u201d\nTito clarified.<\/p>",
