The Ministry of Immigration and Corrections (Imipas), through the North Sumatra Regional Office of the Directorate General of Corrections and the North Sumatra Regional Office of the Directorate General of Immigration, distributed thousands of assistance packages to communities in North Sumatra ahead of Eid 2026.
The assistance distribution took place as part of a social outreach programme titled “Ramadan Sharing by the Ministry of Immigration and Corrections in the North Sumatra Region”. The activity was held at two locations: Bunda Indah Residence, Bumi Seroja Permai Complex Block H45, and Pendawa Guesthouse, Jalan Advokat Raya No. 9 Kanal-Marendal, on Wednesday, 11 March 2026.
A total of 4,000 assistance packages were distributed to vulnerable residents, with 1,500 packages distributed at Bunda Indah Residence and 2,500 packages at Pendawa Guesthouse.
The social outreach initiative was led by Indra Kesuma, Head of Service and Guidance Division at the North Sumatra Regional Office of the Directorate General of Corrections, representing the Regional Head of the Directorate General of Corrections. He was accompanied by Rindra Wardhana, Head of Care, Security and Internal Compliance Division at the North Sumatra Regional Office of the Directorate General of Corrections, together with security officials from the office, in collaboration with the North Sumatra Regional Office of the Directorate General of Immigration. The activity also involved local community leaders and residents who directly participated in the distribution process.
During the event, Indra Kesuma stated that the initiative represents a genuine expression of social concern and an implementation of humanitarian values upheld by the Ministry of Immigration and Corrections.
“Through this Ramadan Sharing activity, we want to demonstrate that Corrections and Immigration do not merely carry out administrative duties and law enforcement, but are also present within the community embodying compassion and humanitarian spirit. This reflects the values of integrity and humanism that must be continuously maintained by all officials of the Ministry of Immigration and Corrections,” Kesuma said.
He further noted that such social initiatives are expected to strengthen relations between government agencies and communities whilst building public confidence in programmes implemented by the ministry.
“We hope this activity will not merely be ceremonial, but can become part of ongoing efforts to strengthen social solidarity, maintain social stability within communities, and foster public trust in the services provided by the Ministry of Immigration and Corrections,” he added.
