JAKARTA - The West Java Regional Police asked the public to report in advance if they wanted to make fireworks, especially on New Year's Eve 2023.
The Head of Public Relations of the West Java Police, Grand Commissioner Ibrahim Tompo, said the fireworks activity was quite dangerous when held without supervision.
"It is better if there are activities that use fireworks, this is reported so that an assessment can be carried out with fairness and safety levels," Ibrahim said in Bandung, West Java, Tuesday, December 27, quoted from Antara.
According to him, fireworks are goods that are prone to causing fires. So that the activity, according to him, can threaten the safety of the community. Ibrahim said there are special standards for fireworks that are allowed and those that should not be used or traded. The limit for fireworks that can be used, he said, is 1.6 inches. "So that is a limit that cannot be crossed, so it is considered prohibited if it exceeds that limit," said Ibrahim.
After Christmas 2022, according to him, the police are focused on securing tourist attractions or other places that have the potential to be crowded with the community ahead of New Year's Eve. Ibrahim said there were 598 tourist attractions up to 138 shopping centers or malls that became security objects during the 2022 Lodaya Candle Operation. He also ensured that his party would monitor community activities involving fireworks. "Until now, it is hoped that these fireworks will not be used without supervisors," said Ibrahim.
