The initial stage of the high-speed train functionality test will take place on May 15, 2023, and to secure the activities of the West Java Regional Police (Polda) has alerted personnel at a number of points in the Jakarta-Bandung high-speed rail project (KCJB) area.

West Java Police Head of Public Relations Kombes Pol. Ibrahim Tompo said that the security was to assist KCIC in order to minimize weaknesses in terms of security during the commissioning test process.

"Thus, during the trial, technical and security constraints will no longer be found that can cause problems," said Ibrahim in Bandung, West Java, Saturday.

Previously, the West Java Regional Police had also checked the high-speed train line. Checks using inspection trains from Tegalluar Station (DK 143) Bandung Regency to Karawang Station.

Check the route, he said, is approximately 100 kilometers long. As a result, there are still some obstacles that can hinder development.

"Therefore, it must be addressed because a trial will be carried out," he said, quoted by ANTARA, Saturday, May 13.

Currently, said Ibrahim, his party is still collecting data on these obstacles for analysis purposes and making security plans.

Previously, PT Kereta Cepat Indonesia China (KCIC) asked the public to participate in maintaining the smooth process of one of the important stages of the operation of the Jakarta Bandung Fast Train (KCJB), namely the commissioning test or function test.

To help smooth the process, the community is asked not to move on the KCJB route because it has the potential to endanger the implementation of the commissioning test.
