Passengers Carrying 2 Parangs Arrested At Benoa Harbor

DENPASAR - The Denpasar Population and Civil Registration Service (Disdukcapil) Joint Team, Civil Service Police Unit (Satpol PP), and the police again held a Population Administration (Adminduk) inspection targeting migrants arriving at Benoa Harbor, Denpasar, Bali.

This activity was carried out to prevent illegal immigrants (Duktang) in Denpasar City.

The inspection, which is a follow-up to the community returning home during the holidays, targeted KM AWU from Surabaya transiting Benoa Harbor to East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) which carried at least 43 passengers to Denpasar City.

From these activities, all passengers have pocketed a resident identity by the administrative requirements. This includes information that is free from COVID-19 through the results of the rapid antigen test.

However, a passenger was arrested because he was caught carrying a sharp weapon with two machetes and then secured by officers.

Denpasar City Head of Population and Civil Registration, I Dewa Gede Juli Artabrata, said that the arrangement of the immigrant population must be done to anticipate illegal residents and also support the control of COVID-19 in Denpasar City.

"This population administration inspection is an activity to control the population and prevent the spread of Covid-19, from this activity all passengers have equipped themselves with identity and population administration", said Juli.

In addition to controlling the population in Denpasar City, this activity is also an effort to socialize with the immigrant population and E-KTP is very important.

"For this reason, I urge all residents wherever their destination is to bring an e-KTP, to all ports to participate in socializing the administrative order from departure. All people are required to pocket themselves with a resident identity", he said.

"This is because the data collection related to administrative order by the Disdukcapil and it was decided that the person concerned does not carry an identity will be handed over to the Satpol PP as the enforcer of the regional regulation, will be dealt with such as looking for a guarantor, the Trial of Minor Crimes, and even repatriation", he said.
