JAKARTA - The National Police asks the public to report if they find allegations of hoarding and playing games on the prices of drugs and oxygen. Reports can be made by calling the hotline 110.
"The Indonesian National Police already has a Hotline 110 service which is available 24 hours a day for people who need assistance from the police. If we find such violations, we encourage them to use this service to report them", said Head of the Public Relations Division of the National Police, Inspector General Argo Yuwono to reporters, Tuesday, July 6.
The hotline, continued Argo, can be accessed throughout Indonesia. So, it can make it easier for the community to help take action against naughty elements.
Reporting can also be done in other ways. People who know about naughty practices can immediately report to the nearest police station.
Argo also appealed to the public to remain calm. This is because the National Police have coordinated with drug and oxygen producers to ensure their availability.
"We urge residents to remain calm and not panic. The Police are currently trying to prevent hoarding and spikes in the selling price of oxygen and medicines during the COVID-19 pandemic", said Argo.
