JAKARTA - Acting Governor of DKI Jakarta Heru Budi Hartono does not want Jakarta residents who go home to their hometowns, celebrate Eid al-Fitr, and return to the capital by bringing relatives who do not have a DKI ID card.

This was revealed by Heru while leading the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government Preparedness Apple Ahead of Eid al-Fitr 1444 Hijri in the National Monument (Monas) area.

Heru also asked his staff to urge residents not to return home after returning home by bringing their relatives to live in Jakarta.

"If later in the process of returning people to Jakarta, from the Population Service together with the Satpol PP, maybe together with the Transportation Service also to be able to guard or inform their citizens not to bring back colleagues, relatives, something like that," said Heru, Tuesday, April 11.

After the Heru apple, he was again asked about his statement. He admitted that he only suggested that residents outside the area do not need to enter and live in Jakarta without having a job or unemployment.

"Jakarta has 11.7 million inhabitants. It's okay (to come to Jakarta) but to have a job, to have an appearance that is indeed on duty in Jakarta. It's not impossible," said Heru.

Back at this afternoon's apple, Heru asked the Satpol PP to coordinate with the Mayors/Regents and community leaders to carry out patrols and monitoring of residents' houses to prevent crimes and disasters in residential areas left behind during homecoming.

"Satpol PP and the Transportation Service, maybe they can once travel to the alleys, villages, greetings. I suggest that in carrying out their duties there can be two or three people, they don't have to be alone," explained Heru.

In addition, the Department of Transportation is also asked to coordinate with transportation service providers regarding the readiness of the Lebaran homecoming transportation fleet. Furthermore, they were also asked to coordinate with the Ditlantas Polda Metro Jaya regarding the installation of traffic signs.

This is realized by placing officers in every corner of the main homecoming route, to reduce the potential for congestion, and traffic accidents that can occur during the homecoming period.

Meanwhile, the Gulkarmat Service is advised to coordinate with the Mayors/Regents and community leaders to socialize the dangers of fires and actions that need to be taken so that houses and shops left behind in homecoming remain safe, especially in vulnerable areas such as dense settlements, places of worship, markets, and tourist attractions.
