Acting Mayor of Banda Aceh, Almuniza Kamal, stated that both local people and those who came to the capital city of Aceh province complied with the appeal of the local Forkopimda regarding the ban on celebrating New Year's Eve 2025.

"This shows that the appeal from Forkopimda is going well and shows that the city community really cares," said Almuniza Kamal in Banda Aceh, Wednesday.

Forkopimda Banda Aceh carries out patrols on New Year's Eve 2025 starting at 20.00 WIB until changing years. And it seems that it is running conducive according to the government's call.

He said he was happy to see Banda Aceh's condition of not having activities that were prohibited on New Year's Eve.
