LAMPUNG SELATAN - In order to provide a sense of security and comfort to prospective travelers of Lebaran 2024, the South Lampung Resort Police (Polres), the Lampung Police have tightened security and supervision in the Bakauheni Port area.

South Lampung Police Chief AKBP Yusriandi Yusrin, in Kalianda, Saturday, asked all his staff to provide a sense of security and comfort to travelers who will cross the South Lampung region, both people from Sumatra to Java and vice versa.

"On the (03/4) date, all of them will carry out troop titles simultaneously, so South Lampung itself will set up 11 Pam posts and two service posts that we will establish at Bakauheni ports and airports," he said, as reported by ANTARA, Saturday, March 30.

He said, in the Bakauheni Port area, it is one of the vulnerable points for congestion and accumulation of vehicles, because the area is a place for entry and exit or gate for the island of Sumatra.

Monitoring of surveillance is not only carried out for passengers who want to cross or come to the port, but also for two-wheeled, four-wheeled drivers and freight cars.

He said that his party would also provide escort services for two-wheeled travelers who would cross South Lampung.

"So the escort is still valid, meaning for my brothers who will later go home and cross South Lampung we will carry out an relay escort," he said.

The escort will be reserved at night to anticipate unwanted things and crimes on the streets.

Ja also said that his party deployed 587 personnel to ensure the safety and smooth running for the travelers of Eid al-Fitr 2024.

"The temporary data is 587 personnel, but later we will confirm it again because we will involve other relevant stakeholders which we will distribute at several points, as well as the replacement of BKO from the Lampung Police," he concluded.
