Mitratel President Director Herlan Wijanarko, accompanied by Operations & IT Director Teddy Hartoko, laid the first stone to mark the start of construction of clean water facilities. Herlan said the construction of clean water facilities and infrastructure for these two villages in Sragen Regency are part the company’s Corporate Social Responsibility. “In accordance with Mitratel’s tagline, ‘Potential Everywhere’, we believe that the existence of Mitratel must make a real contribution to a better Indonesia. Our goal is to provide value that can spread potential and create opportunities for all stakeholders including the community, so that they can help them realize their dreams, “said Herlan.
