South Lampung Police Grand Commissioner Adjutant Edwin reminded travelers who want to use ferry services to prepare boat tickets when entering the Bakauheni Port area.

"Users of Bakauheni Port crossing services who do not have tickets when entering the ASDP area will be turned around," said Edwin in Lampung, Friday, April 14, quoted by Antara.

He warned PT Angkutan Sungai, Danau, and Peberangan Indonesia Ferry (Persero) or ASDP not to sell ship tickets in the port area anymore.

"Those who have already entered Bakauheni Port without having a ticket will be turned around," he said.

Furthermore, Edwin said the police would escort motorcycle travelers in the South Lampung Regency area.

"The escort is still valid. This means that for my brothers who will later carry out the homecoming flow and cross South Lampung, we will carry out an relay escort," he said.

Escorts to the border of the South Lampung Regency area with Bandarlampung City.

"After getting there, (they) will be greeted by our colleagues from the Bandarlampung Police," said Edwin.

Edwin said that for security, as many as 689 officers from the police and other elements were deployed during the 2023 Lebaran homecoming in Lampung.

"If the personnel are not much different from last year, the total is 689 personnel, that is from the National Police and friends from the regional government and the Kodim," he said.
