Polda Metro Bans SOTR: Youth If You Meet Finally Brawl

JAKARTA - Polda Metro Jaya prohibits the implementation of sahur on the road (SOTR) during the fasting month or Ramadan. Because, there has been a negative impact from these activities.

"What is clear is that like last year, this sahur on the road is very not allowed," said Traffic Director of Polda Metro Jaya Kombes Latif Usman to reporters, Thursday, February 27.

One of the negative impacts is that there is a fight between groups. Generally, the action of fighting against the force on the road is often carried out by teenagers.

"Especially we urge young people that if they meet, they end up fighting, fighting, this is what we really avoid," he said.

Therefore, Polda Metro Jaya is said to be taking preventive measures by holding large-scale patrols. In this activity, the police will also be involved.

It is hoped that security during the night of Ramadan will be felt by all people of Jakarta and several other buffer areas.

"Yes, of course, large-scale patrol activities carried out by the Polda Metro Jaya in which there are Ditlantas ranks, we will carry out activities in each Polres," said Latif.

On the other hand, Latif also appealed to the public, especially young people, to reduce activities outside the home at night or early morning during Ramadan. It is recommended to increase the number of times to gather with family and worship.

"This fasting month has gathered a lot with family, hopefully so. If you are friends, you have often. This fasting is gathering with family. We hope so," said Latif.
