CENTRAL JAVA - Deputy Governor of Central Java, Taj Yasin Maimoen, appealed to village officials such as RT/RW and village chief to tighten the application of stay rules in their respective areas.

This effort is to anticipate the practice of theft and other crimes which tend to increase ahead of Eid 2023.

"Village officials should tighten the reporting system if a foreigner stays at a resident's house", he said in Semarang, Central Java, Monday, April 3, reported by Antara.

According to him, it needs to be done to avoid things that are not desirable.

"I'm sure the community knows who's been spending the night in their area. This has to be reported to deal with existing problems", he said.

He also appealed to the public to always be aware of the environmental conditions around them.

"If there are suspicious things, people are asked to report it to the authorities", he said.

He said this after attending a robbery case at the Central Java Regional Police Headquarters.
