TULUNGAGUNG - Polres Tulungagung prohibits sahur on the road (SOTR) activities, especially those using sound engines because they are considered to trigger noise and have the potential to make noise to the public.

"Our target is all forms of activity that have the potential to disrupt public order during Ramadan, including SOTR with sound horeg which we prohibit every year," said Tulungagung Police Chief AKBP Taat Resdi in Tulungagung, East Java, Antara, Sunday, March 2.

With this consideration, his party will hold Operation Pekat Semeru 2025 to create a conducive situation during the Holy month of Ramadan. This operation targets three main aspects, namely the ban on SOTR with sound horeg, the circulation of liquor, and the use of firecrackers.

He emphasized that the Tulungagung Police had never given permission for SOTR activities.

Based on previous experience, these actions often caused disturbances in order, even clashes between groups.

"Every year there are reports from the public who feel disturbed by the use of sound horeg, in fact, there are not uncommon clashes between SOTR participants," he said.

In addition, nightclubs in Tulungagung also received special attention during Ramadan.

Obeying said security in the holy month would be stricter than normal days, given the potential for higher vulnerability, especially before breaking the fast and sahur.

"We will implement the right security strategy so that the situation remains conducive," he concluded.
