"The event (the holding of the BSD Tangsel street race) on 22, 23 and 24 (April)," said Sambodo in a short message, Sunday, April 17.

However, Sambodo has not been able to explain further about the BSD street race event. He said he would explain it on Thursday, April 21.

"On April 21, we will have a press conference at the location, (so) before the event," he concluded.

Previously reported, Polda Metro Jaya plans to hold a street race event in the month of Ramadan this year. The event is planned to be held in the area of Jalan Gipti, BSD City, Pagedangan, Tangerang Regency.

South Tangerang Police Traffic Head AKP Dicky Sutarman said this time the street race had a new theme. Not only motorcycles as before, cars are also given space to participate in the race.

"The first day is for car racing, the second and third day is for motorcycles, so now there is car racing and motorcycle cross racing," said Dicky when confirmed, Sunday, April 3.

The competition will start at 14.00 WIB until 17.30 WIB. However, there is a break when entering the Asr prayer.

"The implementation will start at 14.00 WIB, because during the month of Ramadan, it will be until 17.30 WIB and there is a break time before the Asr time until the Asr prayer is finished," he said.

Dicky explained the reason for holding this street race event during the holy month of Ramadan. This is done to anticipate the existence of illegal racing that often occurs at the time of breaking the fast.

"Still called the BSD street race, we fill the time to accommodate positive activities with the street race while hanging out," he said.
