JAKARTA - Metro Jaya Police Chief Inspector General Fadil Imran responded to the condition of the blockage point which was said to be the cause of the long traffic jam.

According to him, traffic jams are actually caused by people who should not go out or stay at home during the implementation of the Community Activity Restrictions (PPKM).

"Don't reverse the way of thinking, don't say that isolation causes traffic jams. People who don't need to go out are the ones who create traffic jams," said Inspector General Fadil to reporters, Wednesday, July 7.

Therefore, Inspector General Fadil asked the public to educate each other about Emergency PPKM. This is because traffic jams have a huge impact on health workers.

They had problems on their way. In fact, at a time when the number of COVID-19 transmissions is high, health workers are urgently needed to treat patients.

"So please educate the public, convey to the community that the traffic jams are those who shouldn't go out, instead they come out, causing traffic jams and preventing health workers from passing through," said Inspector General Fadil.

Based on the results of his observations of 10 public transportation passengers, only one person met the classification in the Emergency PPKM rules. The rest, excluding workers in essential and critical sectors.

"So the point is not to block out traffic jams and crowds. There are still a lot of people who don't have an interest who come out. So don't turn it around," said Inspector General Fadil.
