BANDA ACEH - Polda Aceh increases patrols ahead of the milad (anniversary) of the Free Aceh Movement (GAM) which is commemorated every 4 December.

Head of the Aceh Regional Police Public Relations Kombes Ery Apriyono said there was no special handling related to the GAM milad.

"There is an increase in routine police activities such as patrols and others. Usually one patrol two times, when the milad is increased to three to four times," said Kombes Ery Apriyono as quoted by Antara, Wednesday, December 2.

Kombes Ery Apriyono said that until now his party had not received notification of milad implementation notification to the police. Likewise, notification of mass mobilization, there is also no information.

"Until now, there has also not been any movement of the masses ahead of the GAM milad. As a precaution, the police have increased routine activities," he said.

He said the current security conditions in Aceh were very conducive, and could not be separated from a well-maintained peace.

According to Kombes Ery, the price for such conducive peace and security is very expensive. The people of Aceh do not want this peace and security to be disturbed.

"We urge the public not to be provoked and to maintain security and order which is already very conducive. And also to maintain peace," he said.
