The Tangerang City Metro Police confirmed that they would take firm action against residents who continued to hold Sahur On The Road (SOTR) and set off firecrackers in their jurisdiction. This step was taken to anticipate potential security disturbances and prevent brawls.
The Tangerang City Metro Police Chief, Kombes Zain Dwi Nugroho, stated that the SOTR ban was carried out because it was often used by youth groups to carry out convoys to brawls. The police will also increase patrols in vulnerable hours, especially ahead of the sahur time.
"The convoy activity under the guise of SOTR is to be eliminated," said Zain in his statement, Thursday (27/2).
In addition, the police will also disperse groups gathered at several points to prevent illegal racing and sarong wars that often occur ahead of the holy month of Ramadan.
"We ensure that the police will carry out regional patrols to prevent brawls, sarong wars, illegal racing, and people who turn on firecrackers," he added.

Furthermore, Zain said that his party would also coordinate with the Tangerang City Government (Pemkot) to ask owners of nightclubs to close their businesses during Ramadan to maintain order and quality of community worship.
"We convey to the owner of the entertainment business to temporarily suspend business during the implementation of the holy month of Ramadan," concluded Zain.
These steps were taken as a form of the police's commitment to maintaining security and order during the month of Ramadan so that people can carry out worship comfortably and safely.
