The Commander Of The Regional Military Command On Blocking Jams: What Makes Troubles Want To Enter Jakarta, Are We?

JAKARTA - Pangdam Jaya Maj. Gen. Mulyo Aji said the implementation of the isolation scheme had to be carried out because Jakarta's conditions were very severe from the spread of COVID-19.

The statement was conveyed to answer criticism about the blockage which actually caused severe traffic jams.

"What was conveyed earlier, why did we block out even more traffic jams. Now we are back, why is there an emergency PPKM, emergency PPKM because of the COVID-19 emergency land condition, then, one of us is limiting mobility," Major General Mulyo Aji told reporters, Wednesday, July 7th.

In addition, the Pangdam also delivered a somewhat sarcastic statement. He mentioned a few people who are actually looking for trouble in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The reason is that when the spread of COVID-19 is getting higher, there are still those who try to enter Jakarta. Even though it has been banned for the sake of health and the common good.

"Now if they come here, we don't limit them, we know that DKI is the one with the most problems, then we go back, who causes problems who want to enter or are we the ones who block it?" Commander said.

In fact, the Military Commander said that hundreds of patients who enter the Wisma Atlet Hospital every day are employees from various companies.

For that reason, a partition is applied and companies that are outside the essential and critical sectors are asked not to operate temporarily.

"Now the question is, what impact does it have on us, I am the one who manages the RSDC at Wisma Atlet, they come in and never tell me that I am from company A, B, C, D but they are generally employees sent by companies. Where, generally we are the government who told to bear it. So, behind the words, the point is let's reduce activities, let's reduce activities, "said Major General Mulyo.

At the end of his statement, the Commander asked the community to help each other to make the Emergency PPKM successful. Thus, Indonesia, especially Jakarta, quickly emerged from the COVID-19 pandemic.

"Let's RT/RW, then community leaders, please explain to all those who are there, so as to reduce mobility, don't go out," he said.
