Bantul Police Opens Free Motorcycle Charging Services For Homecomers To Celebrate Eid 2024

BANTUL - Bantul Resort Police (Polres) in the Special Region of Yogyakarta (DIY), opened a free motorbike storage service for people in their homecoming area to celebrate Eid al-Fitr 1445 Hijriah.

"This service is to anticipate the theft of motorbikes, and the traffic accident of motorbike travelers on the streets. In addition, for travelers who travel to feel calm to leave their motorbikes," said Head of the Public Relations Section of the Bantul Police AKP I Nengah Jeffry Prana Widnyana in Bantul, DIY, Sunday, April 7, confiscated by Antara.

According to him, the deposit of the motorbike was opened at the Bantul Police Headquarters, including at the Polsek, the local police jurisdiction.

"No quota has been set, as long as the parking lot is still available. Residents are welcome to entrust their vehicles free of charge," he said.

This service facility, he said, also aims to encourage the public to go home for Eid 2024 with public transportation, not with private vehicles, especially motorbikes.

"We appeal, especially the people of Bantul, not to use motorbikes when going home, the main reason is because they have a higher risk of being involved in traffic accidents, because driving is too long and too far away," he said.

He said that the requirements for motorists who wish to entrust their motorbikes are required to show the original STNK documents.

"For residents who want to entrust their vehicles, they must include a photocopy of their ID cards, vehicle registration, and driver's license," he said.

In addition to motorcycle storage services, the Bantul Police also advised travelers who left their homes to notify police officers through Bhabinkamtibmas or the nearest police station, so that the houses left behind receive supervision or patrols.

He said that in Operation Ketupat Progo 2024 in the context of securing Eid al-Fitr 1445 Hijri and during the Lebaran homecoming flow, the Bantul Police deployed 558 personnel.

In addition to personnel in the operation, he said, it was also supported by other stakeholders, namely from the TNI, the Transportation Service, the Civil Service Police Unit (Satpol PP), the Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) and other relevant agencies in Bantul.
