Meanwhile, a representative from the Jakarta Archdiocese, the Interfaith Relations Commission, Pastor Antonius Suyadi expressed his appreciation to the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government for its commitment and support in ensuring the implementation of worship and the 2022 Christmas celebration.

He hopes that the implementation of worship and Christmas celebrations this year will run safely and peacefully. The presence of the leaders in the DKI Provincial Government also supports that the Christmas celebrations take place safely.

"Of course, the form of synergy or cooperation is what form of support from the DKI Provincial Government to ensure a sense of security in each church for Christmas celebrations," he said.

On the other hand, Polda Metro Jaya has prepared 8,000 personnel to guard and secure the 2022 Christmas and 2023 New Year celebrations in the Jakarta area and its surroundings.

"There are 8,000 personnel, from the police in all areas of Jakarta," said Head of Public Relations of Polda Metro Jaya, Kombes Pol Endra Zulpan.

Zulpan said that the security for Christmas and New Year this year is slightly different from the previous year because the government has reduced capacity restrictions in entertainment venues and crowded centers in the capital city.

"What is different is the difference in the provisions of entertainment venues and crowded places which are different from last year," he said.

Terkait hal itu, Polda Metro Jaya meningkatkan rapat koordinasi dengan Pemda DKI Jakarta dan Kodam Jaya serta instansi terkait lainnya.
