TANGERANG - The Tangerang City Police (Polresta) in Banten, advised all residents in the Tangerang Regency area not to have sahur on the streets aka "sahur on the road" in order to prevent disruption of security and public order during the Holy Month of Ramadan 1443 Hijri in 2022 "What is clear at this time is that it can be avoided, because at this time there is still the potential for disruption of Kamtibmas and the spread of Covid-19 is still high, so we urge not to do it," said Tangerang Police Chief, Police Commissioner Zain Dwi Nugroho, in Tangerang, Monday, March 28. He said that the experiences of the previous year would be a lesson for his party to anticipate unwanted things, especially those that would disturb the peace of the surrounding community. "We are currently holding a coordination meeting with Fokopimda as well as with relevant agencies to discuss security readiness for Ramadan, both before and after g fasting and after Eid al-Fitr later," he was quoted as saying by Antara. He revealed, ahead of Ramadan in 2022, the Tangerang Police will operate routinely to anticipate an increase in security and security disturbances, including citizen/teenage brawls during fasting. "Based on experience and events from last year and previous years, so from the mapping we will know how many points are prone to brawls," he said.

In addition to carrying out intensive security operations, the police will also deploy a number of officers in locations prone to brawls between residents or teenagers. As for mapping the locations where brawls often occur in the Tangerang Regency area, namely, in the Cikupa Citra Raya area, Pasar Kemis, Panongan, Tigaraksa and Balaraja. He appealed to the public not to hesitate to report anything suspicious, especially in activities that could potentially lead to brawls or kamtibmas.
