JAKARTA - Governor Ganjar Pranowo asked all regions in Central Java to be prepared to face a surge in travelers during the Christmas and New Year holidays. The Ministry of Transportation survey noted, it is predicted that there will be 4.8 million homecomers who will enter Central Java. This was conveyed by Ganjar when chairing a coordination meeting for handling Christmas and New Years with Forkompimda ranks and interfaith leaders at the Gradhika Bhakti Praja, Central Java Provincial Government complex. Ganjar said that a common understanding is needed so that the handling of Christmas and New Year can be carried out optimally. "If you look at the potential (4.8 million) it is indeed big. So today we have a meeting with Forkompinda so that we have a common understanding so that Christmas and New Year will go well," he said. Central Java must be prepared to prevent the large number of homecomers from mobilizing. So, his party will continue to communicate with Central Java community families outside Central Java to celebrate Christmas and New Year in their respective places. "The biggest ones are in Jakarta, West Java and East Java. Later we will communicate and ask for their help to stay in their respective places. So that there will be no massive displacement. I hope there will be no debate, that the current condition has improved and people feel You can travel anywhere. We ask for the support of all parties, "he said. Not only the community, Ganjar also asked for support from a number of agencies including the TNI/Polri, the ministry of transportation and so on to monitor the entrances to Central Java. Ports, airports, stations and bus terminals must be strictly controlled.

"What must be anticipated is if someone comes from abroad, but uses a private jet. That's hard to control. So I ask the airport to be strict and anyone who wants to enter Central Java using a private jet, I ask to report first and be willing to be tested," he said. Asked about the partition, Ganjar said there is no plan to block it in Central Java. Even so, monitoring posts, monitoring posts and checking points have been prepared in a number of locations. His party has also coordinated with PLN, Pertamina, Bulog and related agencies to ensure everything is safe. "Any scenario, I ask everyone to be alert. Not only Christmas and New Year, but I remind you to be prepared for disasters," he concluded.

Meanwhile, Kabagdalops Polda Central Java, AKBP Djodi Winarno said the police had prepared a number of security posts at various locations in Central Java. These include city border security posts, airports, ports, gas stations, terminals, churches, tourist attractions and crowds. "All personnel have been prepared and activities for Nataru's security have been running for some time. There are at least more than 300 posts that we have prepared, with thousands of personnel ready to be assigned," he said.
