JAKARTA - Metro Jaya Police Chief Inspector General Fadil Imran emphasized that patrols during the Implementation of Emergency Community Activity Restrictions (PPKM) do not mean prohibiting people from selling.

Fadil said that the recent deviant incident was a misunderstanding, because what the Emergency PPKM patrol really wanted was to regulate, not prohibit selling.

"You try to travel to remote areas at night, in Cengkareng (West Jakarta), in Kemayoran (Central Jakarta), in Pgilan (North Jakarta), in Cakung (East Jakarta), in Bangka (South Jakarta). do they sell? What happens is that we regulate," said Fadil in Jakarta, quoted by Antara, Sunday, July 18.

Fadil realized that there were still misunderstandings in the field. For that, he promised to conduct an evaluation.

However, he is grateful that in the capital until now there have been no frictions with the community.

For this reason, the Metro Jaya Police Chief expressed his gratitude to all elements of the people of Jakarta and also appreciated the officers on duty in the field who continued to carry out operations according to the humanitarian corridor.

"So the situation remains conducive," said Fadil.

According to the father of the youngest member of the House of Representatives, Farah Puteri Nahlia, Jakarta must not only be healthy, but also safe and cool.

To that end, he reminded members in the field to be polite in law enforcement, according to the direction of the President of the Republic of Indonesia Joko Widodo in the Limited Evaluation Meeting last Saturday, July 17.

"We remind members to be polite, but still enforce the law," said Fadil.
