JAKARTA - At least four entry points for residents to Lombok are closely guarded by the Directorate of Water and Air Police (Ditpolairud) of the West Nusa Tenggara (NTB) Regional Police (Polda) ahead of the G20 Bali Summit.

"Every day I check members at four points of entry by residents to Lombok to tighten supervision of the G20 in Bali," said Director of Polairud Polda NTB Kombes Pol. Kobul Syahrin Ritonga in a written statement, Friday 11 November.

Kobul, who received the task of securing the G20 Bali, said that his party routinely carries out security every day, mainly monitoring four entry points for residents to Lombok.

"Today I went to the Ward to see and confirm the members on duty," he said.

He hopes that all officers will not be careless in carrying out this noble task, and always instill sincere intentions so that they can be counted as worship.

"For the members on duty, I hope to stay healthy and always be vigilant. Intention to worship while on duty so that it becomes a value of worship," said Kobel.
