National Police Chief General Listyo Sigit Prabowo will reactivate the task force (task force) spread across the regional police to anticipate forest and land fires (karhutla). Meanwhile, the Karhutla case is in the spotlight of President Joko Widodo (Jokowi). He asked the TNI-Polri to seriously take precautions. In fact, it seems as if threatening to remove the Kapolda to the Danrem if the case occurs. "Regarding the forest and land fires issue, today we have also discussed it and we remind the regional police who have been the regional police that often occurs forest and land fires to immediately reactivate the task force which consists of local governments," General Sigit told reporters, Thursday, February 9. Sigit also asked the Kapolda in areas prone to forest and land fires to cooperate with the community. Thus, monitoring is maximized. "Then the Manggala Agni task force consists of the community and volunteers," he said. Then, use of technology for use will be carried out, such as digital smoke applications. So, if a hotspot appears, it can be immediately damped. "We ask all the tools that must be prepared when a fire occurs. So that once there is a hotspot, it can be extinguished immediately," said Sigit. Previously, Jokowi reminded him of his promise in the first term as president. TNI and Polri officials will uphold their responsibility in every forest and land fire incident in their territory. "I repeat again my promise 7 years ago is still in effect today. If there is a big fire in the province that is responsible for the Pangdam, the regional police chief, and the team head. Be careful, I'm just talking carefully that the promise is still in effect," he said.
