The police patrol car belonging to the Nusaniwe Police helped transport a number of people and students who wanted to carry out their activities when hundreds of angkot drivers went on strike and demonstrated at the Maluku Governor's Office.

"During the demonstration, not many angkot cars served the terminal and Mardika Market routes to Nusaniwe District (Ambon City) so many prospective passengers were abandoned," said Nusaniwe Police Chief, Iptu Johan Anakotta in Ambon, Maluku, Wednesday, February 22, confiscated by Antara.

According to him, the Nusaniwe Police took the initiative to use existing facilities to help the community's needs by operating their official cars.

Most of the students who have been waiting for an angkot car since this morning studied in the center of Ambon City, so the police chief took the initiative to order his members to help them.

"More angkot drivers who go on strike operate and participate in demonstrations as a result of transportation are hampered, while students should not be late for school, so we take advantage of the existing official car," explained the police chief.

Apart from students, other general communities domiciled in the jurisdiction of the Nusaniwe Police are also transported by patrol cars to the city and its surroundings.

Even housewives who wanted to shop at Mardika Market were also assisted by the police by riding in patrol cars.

He also admitted that there was no intention or interest because the police as protectors, protectors, and public servants were obliged to provide the necessary assistance.
