JAKARTA - The travel entry and exit permit (SIKM) during the Eid homecoming ban in 2021 is rumored to be canceled. Deputy Governor of DKI Jakarta, Ahmad Riza Patria, admitted that he did not know yet, and would check on this.
"Regarding SIKM, we will check again. Tomorrow we will have a meeting with Polda Metro. Later we will check again what is the policy," said Deputy Governor Riza at City Hall DKI, Central Jakarta, Monday, April 26.
However, what Riza knows, SIKM, which is a requirement for travelers, is still enforced during the elimination of homecoming from May 6 to 17, 2021.
"So far, the policy, as we know on the 6th to 17th, has implemented SIKM. But if there is information, the desire to be replaced or another way is sought, later we will discuss it again with Polda Metro," he said.
Previously, Dirlantas Polda Metro Jaya Kombes Sambodo Purnomo Yogo admitted that he heard that the DKI Pemprov had not implemented SIKM.
"The one who issued SIKM from there, from the local government, not from us. In fact, we heard that it was not enforced, but just check with the Kadishub, "he said.
VOI tried to confirm the news about the cancellation of SIKM to the Head of the DKI Jakarta Transportation Agency (Kadishub) Syafrin Liputo. However, until now Syafrin has not been contacted.
