JAKARTA - The Governor of West Nusa Tenggara, H Zulkieflimansyah emphasized that it was not prohibited for people to return to their hometowns to celebrate Eid al-Fitr 1442 Hijriah.
"It's not prohibited. The important thing is to fast in the month of Ramadan," he said in Mataram, Sunday, reported by Antara.
According to the NTB Governor, his party cannot prohibit or impose restrictions on people who want to return to Sumbawa Island or Lombok Island because this is a common thing that is done every time before the implementation of Eid Al-Fitr.
"They came home because they really missed it. If we arrange later, many problems will occur, just let it run away," he said.
Previously, the government had decided to ban Lebaran 2021 homecoming. The Eid homecoming ban was stated in the Circular of the Head of the COVID-19 Handling Task Force Number 13 of 2021 concerning the Elimination of Homecoming in Ramadan and Eid Al-Fitr 1442 Hijriah during May 6-17 2021. Prohibition this applies to land, sea and air transportation modes.
The government has also stipulated regulations regarding the prohibition of operating all modes of land, sea, air and rail transportation on May 6-17, 2021. In fact, the Ministry of Transportation will issue a circular as a reference for technical implementation in the field related to the policy of prohibiting homecoming on 6-17 May 2021.
