JAKARTA - The Regent of Sragen, Central Java, Untung Yuni Sukowati has a way to prevent travelers from entering his area during the Idul Fitri holiday season. One of them is by making a barricade at the entrance to the Sragen area from the west, east and north.

"Friends at the Polres have carried out simulations and we provide full support for that," said Yuni in a dialogue held by KPCPEN with the theme No Homecoming Is Better through a written statement, Thursday, April 15.

In addition to barricades, Yuni also appealed to village heads to create content reminding overseas residents not to return to their hometowns. This is because, reflecting on last year's experience, it was recorded that 10 thousand migrants from Sragen returned to their hometowns.

In fact, at that time, the COVID-19 pandemic had already occurred. "In just two days, 1,400 people came in April last year. Previously, the task force worked very well to observe the travelers. Now, we are the ones to give the understanding that this time it is indeed forbidden to go home," he said.

Meanwhile, Head of the Ops. Korlantas Polri Headquarters Kombes Rudi Antariksawan said his party would also tighten up the inspection at several points. So, anyone who passes will be checked.

"We have mapped locations from Lampung to Bali to prevent people from going home. There are 333 insulating points that we have prepared, both toll and arterial lanes," said Rudi.

In addition, from April 12 to May 5, the police will hold a Safety Operation to anticipate a surge in travelers who are about to travel back to their hometowns.

"Then, we will carry out an isolation in accordance with government orders from 6-17 May 2021," he concluded.
