JAKARTA - Polda Metro Jaya appreciates the 212 reunion committee who decided to cancel the action at the Arjuna Wiwaha Horse Statue. This is because the reunion was moved to the Sentul area and held virtually.
"We appreciate and respect the decision of the 212 management who stated that they would not operate within the jurisdiction of the Polda Metro Jaya," said Head of Public Relations of the Polda Metro Jaya Kombes E. Zulpan to reporters, Tuesday, November 30.
The appreciation was given because the 212 reunion committee thought about the potential for COVID-19 transmission. Moreover, avoiding the entry of new variants of COVID-19.
"We prioritize public safety and these are police measures to prevent the transmission of COVID-19 by minimizing the occurrence of crowds or large groups of people," said Zulpan.
Apart from that, Zulpan said that the 212 reunion was canceled because it did not receive a recommendation from the COVID-19 Task Force. Especially, directives from the government to keep crowds at bay.
"The recommendations of the Jakarta COVID-19 Task Force do not provide recommendations for activities that are gathering crowds of people. So this is in line with the government's instructions so that we can initially avoid crowds related to the COVID-19 pandemic situation," said Zulpan.
Previously, it was reported that the 212 Reunion, which was planned to be held at the Horse Statue of Arjuna Wiwaha, was cancelled. Because the committee decided to hold an online or virtual reunion.
"That's right (the 212 reunion is virtual)," said the Chairperson of the 212 Reunion Committee, Eka Jaya.
In addition, the 212 reunion activity, said Eka, will change its location to the Az-Zikra Mosque, Sentul, Bogor. Later, the series of activities will only be filled with collective remembrance.
"We, the shuro council, have agreed that we will hold it in Az-Zikra, we do remembrance, the point is not too munajab, there are no political speeches and so on," said Eka
