MEDAN - Medan Mayor Bobby Nasution asked various parties to maintain the handling of conflicts starting from the city, sub-district, urban village level to the micro level, namely the environment.

"Problems and issues that occur in each region, of course, are different. For this reason, they must be handled at the micro level by increasing early awareness," said Bobby Nasution in Medan, North Sumatra, quoted by Antara, Wednesday, January 5.

He expressed this when holding a meeting with the early awareness team, the Religious Communication Forum (FKUB), the Indonesian Ulema Council and the National and Political Unity Agency at Juang 45 Building, Medan.

The Mayor invites various related parties to always work together to maintain religious harmony in the Medan City area which has been nurtured and established well so far.

Bobby Nasution revealed, making Medan a safe and conducive city through collaboration with stakeholders, such as handling the COVID-19 pandemic.

"We can learn how to handle COVID-19, starting at the micro level, it turns out to be better. Therefore, I hope that conflict management is also carried out at the micro level, so that the results are more effective," said Mayor Bobby.

Meanwhile, Dandim 0201/Medan, Col. Inf Hindratno Devidanto, assessed that Medan City is a miniature of Indonesia, because all ethnicities and religions exist in this area.

"We know that the 45th generation is the best, because they fought for independence and made the foundation of the state. The 45th generation did not see religion or ethnicity, but they fought for independence," he said.

"Pancasila is the state ideology. If we implement it well, God willing, our country will be safe," said Hindratno.

The head of the Medan City FKUB, Ilyas Halim, stated that problems of religious harmony could be resolved through dialogue with the community in 21 sub-districts.

"With dialogue, God willing, the issue of harmony can be resolved. From the dialogue that has been carried out, the community wants FKUB to reach the sub-district level," said IYas.
