JAKARTA - The Polda Metro Jaya tonight implemented a crowd free night policy from 22.00 WIB to 04.00 WIB, in a number of locations in Jakarta to anticipate crowds on New Year's Eve.

In the implementation of this crowd free night, the streets in that location will be sterilized from motorists.

Based on Antara's monitoring at 19.30 WIB, Friday, December 31, the route to the Sudirman-Thamrin area was observed to be busy. Dozens of officers were seen guarding the Hotel Indonesia roundabout area, supervising traffic at that location.

For information, the implementation of the crowd free night policy will last for two days. The location was chosen because it is considered to be a point where health protocol violations are often found.

Dirlantas Polda Metro Jaya Kombes Sambodo Purnomo Yogo emphasized that when the crowd free night policy was implemented, all vehicles were prohibited from crossing. Not only that, pedestrians and cyclists are also prohibited.

"That's why it's called crowd free night, not car free night because pedestrians and cyclists are not allowed to pass either," said Sambodo.

In its implementation, said Sambodo, his party will deploy 1,730 joint personnel. This joint personnel comes from elements of the Police, TNI, and the Provincial Government of DKI Jakarta.

Here are 11 areas where the crowd free night Jakarta will apply:

1. Asia Africa Region

3. Mahakam area - Bulungan - Barito

4. Sudirman - Thamrin area
