Korlantas Polri Checks Port Readiness In East Java Ahead Of Christmas And New Year 2024

The National Police Traffic Corps inspects the Anchor Port of Situbondo Regency and Ketapang Port, Banyuwangi, East Java. The goal is to ensure that traffic management runs well in preparation for the security of Candle Operation ahead of the 2023-2024 Christmas and New Year Holidays (Nataru).

"We are the third survey to the special Ketapang area looking at the data submitted by the Minister of Transportation that the movement for the community later to use land vehicles and other modes of transportation will still be dominated by land transportation, and Bali will become a destination, one of which is so we need to see Ketapang's readiness today," said Head of Traffic Police Inspector General Firman Shantyabudi in his statement, quoted Friday, November 24.

The review was also carried out to anticipate the occurrence of problems ahead of Christmas and New Year 2023-2024. One of them is the accumulation of passengers and vehicles.

"Earlier, we received notes that the port in this anchor will also be one of the additional options as a port to break the flow of vehicles that will cross from Ketapang so far either to Gilimanuk or to Lembar," he said.

Firman also appealed to the public to drive with tolerance and responsibility to respect other parties. So, no problems or unwanted things occur during the trip.

"In traffic, it is not only enough to drive a motorized vehicle, all existing experiences must be evaluated that in traffic there must be tolerance for responsibility, all rights must be considered. So it is not people who highlight their interests but there are also other parties who must be respected," said Firman.
