JAKARTA - Towards the early hours of the morning the route to Puncak-Cipanas, Cianjur, West Java, returns to normal from both directions which were previously closed in an effort to break the queue and limit the volume of vehicles ahead of New Year's Eve in the area which can cause crowds.

The Head of Cianjur Police, AKBP Mochamad Rifai in Cianjur Friday, said that from morning until evening, isolation and examination of COVID-19 antigen-free certificates were carried out at a number of check points along the main route of Puncak-Cianjur.

"Even before the route to Puncak-Cipanas closed at 18.00 WIB, the joint officers sent home hundreds of immigrant vehicles because they did not have COVID-19 antigen-free documents, even the prohibition for residents to celebrate New Year's Eve outside their homes was maximally enforced," he said. from Antara, Friday.

Until the early hours of the morning, the volume of vehicles passing the main route from Puncak to Cianjur was quiet, even though it was usual to experience queues at the end of the year, causing a total traffic jam.

So that by early morning, the main route, which was closed for eight hours in an effort to anticipate the increase in vehicle volume before New Year's Eve, is back to normal and can be passed by vehicles from both directions from Cianjur to Bogor or vice versa.

"But this afternoon, we will see the situation if the volume of vehicles increases, a number of flow engineering will be applied along the same route. The possibility of blocking and applying a one-way system will be applied, but it is situational," he said.

Meanwhile, until New Year's Eve, there were no crowds from the Puncak area to the middle of Cianjur city. However, the sound of fireworks and firecrackers just before the turn of the year was heard at a number of points, but not as busy as at the turn of the year before.

"Most of the residents comply with the prohibition not to hold events on New Year's Eve that can invite crowds or crowds. The efforts made by the joint officers are very maximal, so we hope that there will be no new clusters after the new year," he said.
