SITUBONDO - President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) is scheduled to make a working visit to Situbondo, East Java, on August 1. The police have also begun to be on standby and check the route that is planned to be traversed by the number one person in Indonesia.

President Jokowi is planned to attend the joint training of the TNI for three dimensions (TNI AD, AL, AU) at the review point 12, (T12) of the Balanese 5 Marine Combat Training Center.

In addition, the President is also planned to attend the 5th National Inclusion Meeting which will be held at the Salafiyah Safi'iyah Sukorejo Islamic Boarding School.

The Situbondo Resort Police has so far checked the routes that the President will pass, such as the direction to the Balanese 5 Marine Combat Training Center, Sumberwaru Village, Banyuputih District, and Salafiyah Safi iyah Sukorejo Islamic Boarding School, Sumberejo Village, Banyuputih District, which is the location for the 5th National Inclusion Meeting.

Head of the Operations Section (Kabag Ops) of the Situbondo Police, Kompol Agus Widodo, said that his party had made improvements to the path that the President was planning to pass, such as street lighting, tree branches on the highway that were disturbing and potentially broken.

"A few days ago we checked the route that the President was planning to pass, and a tree branch was cut which interfered with the road and increased street lighting," said Commissioner Agus, as reported by Antara.

He said the route to be traversed by the President was appropriate, including the route leading to the Salafiyah Safi'iyah Sukorejo Islamic Boarding School.

Meanwhile, for lane security, said Commissioner Agus, the Situbondo Police deployed all personnel from today until the end of the event to ensure security.

However, Kompol Agus has not been able to confirm the location President Jokowi will visit during his working visit to Situbondo.
