You Jakarta Residents Do Not Try To Make Homecoming, Metro Jaya Police Prepare A Sealing Post
JAKARTA - The Police of Metro Jaya followed up the ban on homecoming issued by the government by preparing a sealing point to dissuade citizens who want to go home. The government decided to ban homecoming to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
"Our plan will be to restrict and inspect passenger vehicles, both cars, buses, and motorcycles leaving Jakarta on that date," said Metro Jaya Police Traffic Director Kombes Sambodo Purnomo Yogo as quoted by Antara, Thursday, April 8.
Sambodo said the sealing policy will be implemented in accordance with the implementation of the policy of banning homecoming, namely on May 6-17.
In its implementation, Ditlantas Polda Metro Jaya will also carefully check the completeness of documents and freight transport vehicles that are exempted from exiting and entering the jurisdiction of The Metro Jaya Police Department.
