MEDAN - North Sumatra Regional Police (Polda) and ranks increased street patrols in an effort to anticipate brawls in their jurisdiction during Ramadan 1445 Hijri/2024 AD.

"In addition to anticipating the brawl of youth groups, there are also actions by motorcycle gangs, crimes such as theft and robbery in a number of places during Ramadan," said Head of Public Relations of the North Sumatra Police, Kombes Hadi Wahyudi in Medan as reported by ANTARA, Wednesday, March 13.

Hadi continued that with the presence of these police officers, people can feel safe and comfortable while fasting.

"We urge the public not to play with firecrackers during the fasting month so that the security and social security situation remains safe and conducive," he said.

In addition, according to Hadi, the North Sumatra Police and their ranks also continue to take action against gambling, drugs, romance at dawn and other activities that can disrupt the fasting process.

"The intensity of enhanced police activities will continue to be improved to keep the situation cool, comfortable and conducive during Ramadan," he said.

Hadi said the North Sumatra Regional Police invited all elements of society to maintain cessation in the Ramadan.

Previously, Medan Mayor Bobby Nasution asked the monitoring team to prevent teenagers from gathering after the dawn prayer in order to create security and comfort during the holy month of Ramadan 1445 Hijri.

"The Medan City Government together with the TNI/Polri and stakeholders should maintain the purity of this month from tarnished activities, one of which is teenagers who gather after dawn prayers," said Bobby.

In recent years, he said, the activities of a number of teenagers who gathered after the dawn prayer were considered a tradition and commonplace for some residents of Medan City.

In fact, in the holy month of Ramadan it must really be preserved, because not all Muslims are given the opportunity to worship in this blessed month.
