BABEL - The Bangka Belitung (Babel) Islands Police are trying to anticipate the possibility of brokering and thuggery practices at Tanjungkalian Mentok Port so as not to harm the travelers back home.

"We together with the Resort Police have coordinated, monitored the situation of homecoming at Tanjungkalian Port and will take firm action against ticket brokers and thugs at that location," said Babel Police Chief Inspector General Yan Sultra Indrajaya in Pangkalpinang, Antara, Wednesday, April 27.

The current situation of going back and forth at Tanjungkalian Mentok Port has begun to increase and has the potential to occur in violation of the law, such as the practice of brokering ferry tickets and acts of thuggery.

This two-star general has communicated with the Tanjungkalian Port ASDP to jointly take anticipatory and security measures so that no action will harm the travelers.

"Middlers and thugs must be eradicated together, we need to tighten supervision so that there are no individuals who precede or grab the travelers' queues," he said.

He appealed to all joint security officers at Tanjungkalian Port to jointly maintain the safety of people, goods and vehicles for travelers.

The increase in the number of ferry passengers at Tanjungkalian Port started to stall on Saturday, April 23, so that PT ASDP no longer dispatched ships according to schedule, but ferries departed based on need.

Currently, the process of boarding and disembarking ferry passengers docking at the Tanjungkalian Port is sped up so that the ship can immediately depart for Tanjungapiapi Port, South Sumatra.
