JAKARTA - Deputy Governor of DKI Jakarta, Ahmad Riza Patria, claims that the decision of the central government to tighten the PSBB in a number of areas in Java and Bali was initiated with a proposal submitted by the Governor of DKI Jakarta Anies Baswedan.

Initially, Riza said that on Tuesday, January 5, Anies contacted the central government to ask for similar tightening of mobility not only in Jakarta, but also in buffer areas such as Bogor, Depok, Tangerang and Bekasi.

"After the (Pemprov DKI) meeting on Tuesday, the Governor contacted the central government for coordination, including to discuss in the future policies between several regions, including the DKI Provincial Government and Bodetabek, could be equalized," said Riza at the City Hall, Thursday, January 7. .

The demand for evenly distributed PSBB tightening is based on the fact that many people are looking for entertainment and activities in the buffer zone because these areas have less restrictive rules than DKI.
