Many Riders Do Not Have An SIKM Who Use The Rat And Artery Route

JAKARTA - The police are enforcing a ban on entry to Jakarta. Everyone without an exit and entry permit (SIKM) will be sanctioned.

From the prosecution carried out by the police on May 27, there were 524 vehicles that were punished at 9 checkpoints. From existing data, vehicles that enter Jakarta pass through rats and arteries.

"(Trying to) get into Jakarta, checked at the PSBB checkpoint. They are not equipped with SIKM," said Director of Traffic Directorate of Polda Metro Jaya Kombes Sambodo Purnomo Yogo to VOI in his explanation, Thursday, May 28.

SIKM checkpoints in three areas of Jakarta. On the west side, there are Kalideres Police posts, Joglo Raya posts, and Karang Tengah Police posts. Then, in the East are on Jalan Raya Bogor, Jalan Raya Bekasi, and Jalan Raya Kalimalang. The last one is on the South side of Jakarta, to be precise at the Simpang or the overpass of the University of Indonesia, Friday Market Crossing, and Jalan Ciledug Raya.

Meanwhile, for the prosecution of drivers or passengers who were not equipped with SIKM at 11 checkpoints outside Jakarta, the total was 2,374 vehicles. They were forced to make a U-turn to their hometown and not continue traveling.

"In total there are 2,898 of our vehicles turning around," said Sambodo.

11 points it is at; Jalan Syekh Nawawi Tangerang Regency, Cikupa Toll Gate, Tangerang Regency, Serang Highway, Tangerang Regency, Maja Highway, Tangerang Regency, Jasinga Street, Bogor Regency, Ciawi-Cianjur Road, Bogor Regency, Ciawi-Sukabumi Road, Bogor Regency, Tanjung Sari Highway, Bogor Regency, Pantura highway, Bekasi Regency, Kalimalang Inspection road, Bekasi Regency, Cikarang Km 47 toll road towards Jakarta, Bekasi Regency.

Head of DKI Jakarta Transportation Agency, Syafrin Liputo, revealed that 7 people had to be quarantined for two weeks because they entered Jakarta without having an exit and entry permit (SIKM). SIKM is a requirement for all people who do not have a Jabodetabek ID card and want to enter the DKI area.

Of the 7 people who were quarantined, 5 of them came from outside the area who entered Jakarta using rail transportation facilities through Gambir Station, Central Jakarta. Meanwhile, 2 other people were passengers on the bus that entered the terminal in East Jakarta.

"For residents who enter, it turns out that they do not have SIKM, it must be quarantined. The local mayor has prepared the place, but for their daily needs, they must be independent," said Syafrin.

All of the quarantined people, said Syafrin, could qualify for entry to Jakarta, because they had bought train travel tickets before the DKI Provincial Government set SIKM requirements during the PSBB period. Meanwhile, passengers who board the bus get around to departing from the middle of the road and not from the terminal.

"When they arrive at the station and terminal here (Jakarta), we will definitely check it," he said.

Meanwhile, some people refused to be quarantined. Finally, they are forced to return to travel to their hometowns using their personal expenses.
