YOGYAKARTA - The Yogyakarta City Civil Service Police Unit continues to intensify firecracker raids ahead of Eid 2022 as part of efforts to create a sense of security and comfort for the community.
"Actually, we have carried out this activity since the beginning of the fasting month through regular patrols throughout the city of Yogyakarta," said Yogyakarta City Civil Service Police (Satpol PP) Head Agus Winarto in Yogyakarta, Wednesday 27 April.
According to him, raid activities are not always manifested in the form of confiscation of firecrackers and the like, but also provide education to the public if they are still trading firecrackers and the like.
"If firecrackers are found, officers will provide education and understanding to close them immediately," Agus said as quoted by Antara.
Even so, he continued, sometimes people in the villages set off firecrackers or fireworks.
"Usually it is under the supervision of parents. The firecrackers that are played are types of fireworks or small firecrackers," he said.
Until now, the Yogyakarta City Satpol PP has not found people who have or play large-sized firecrackers.
"So far, there have been no findings. Hopefully conditions in Yogyakarta until Eid 2022 will remain conducive and safe," he said.
Agus said that firecrackers are quite dangerous because they can cause explosions and take casualties, both property victims and fatalities.
In recent times, there have been various incidents in the community related to the explosion of firecrackers. Agus hopes that this incident can be used as a common lesson, especially for residents in the city of Yogyakarta.
