JAKARTA - Regional Police (Polda) Metro Jaya said that traffic jams would be unavoidable during the implementation of the Emergency Community Activity Restriction (PPKM) blocking scheme. Because, people are still stubborn by continuing to carry out mobility.

"Congestion is one that we cannot avoid because we enforce the rules. We have to check one by one vehicle whether it belongs to the critical and essential sectors", said Traffic Director of Polda Metro Jaya Commissioner Sambodo Purnomo Yogo to reporters, Monday, July 5.

Moreover, the third day of PPKM is at the beginning of the week. So, people who live outside Jakarta try to come in to work.

However, they will not be allowed to enter if they are not included in the critical and essential sector. They also had to turn back to their respective homes.

"Monday is the third day and the first day of Emergency PPKM on weekdays. Where people work and thousands of people from outside Jakarta are still trying to enter Jakarta. Even though they may not work in critical and essential sectors", said Sambodo.

On the other hand, Sambodo also mentioned that there are many people who are included in the critical sector and are essentially constrained when they want to cross the barrier points.

According to him, anyone who enters the sector can directly pass through the blockage point. The trick is to notify the officers and show evidence.

"But maybe there are health workers or there are those who belong to the banking field is hampered before entering the blocking point. We will definitely open it if they told the health workers what their business are", said Sambodo.
