JAKARTA - The DKI Jakarta Transportation Agency continues to enforce motorized vehicle free days (HBKB) or car free day every Sunday on a number of roads during Ramadan 1445 Hijri. "The implementation of the HBKB or CFD remains yes every Sunday," said Head of the DKI Jakarta Transportation Agency Syafrin Liputo, quoted from Antara, Monday, March 11. However, in the month of Ramadan the implementation of the HBKB was only a public space for the entire community for sports activities without any event. "In the month of Ramadan, the HBKB activities will still be carried out, but without participants or without performers such as stages, music, parades, tents, etc.," said Syafrin.

"Hal itu diatur dalam Keputusan Gubernur Nomor 509 Tahun 2016 tentang Tim Kerja HBKB," katanya.

The government through the Ministry of Religion set the beginning of fasting or 1 Ramadan 1445 Hijri falls on Tuesday, March 12, after being decided through an isbat session at the Indonesian Ministry of Religion building, Jakarta, Sunday, March 10. "The results of the session determined that 1 Ramadan 1445 Hijri falls on Tuesday," said Minister of Religion Yaqut Cholil Qoumas, while chairing a press conference to determine the isbat session.
