During the Eid period, thousands of personnel are on standby to keep the city of Bandung conducive
Ahead of Idul Fitri 1445 H, the Bandung City Government (Pemkot) is alerting 706 personnel to ensure that the City of Bandung remains safe and conducive. The personnel will be on standby from 3 - 18 April 2024.
Acting Mayor of Bandung, Bambang Tirtoyuliono, revealed that personnel on standby ranged from Satpol PP, Transportation Service to Health Service.
"I truly believe that the city of Bandung can be run much better with synergy and collaboration. We hope that the Idul Fitri holiday will run smoothly," said Bambang at the 2024 Cross-Sectoral Coordination Meeting for the Ketupat Lodaya Operation at the Bandung Police, Monday 1 April 2024.
For points prone to congestion, the Transportation Department has identified around 38 points. Some of them are Jalan Ir H. Djuanda, Simpang Lima Asia Afrika, and Cibiru Roundabout.
"One of them is due to market spillover. We ensure that in H-2 and H+2 there will be no spillover market activity," he said.
Apart from that, regarding waste, he appealed to the public to minimize waste disposal. This is because the Sarimukti TPA is closed during Eid al-Fitr.
"On Eid day, the Sarimukti TPA is closed. Day 1 we will implement restrictions. I ordered the sub-district head and sub-district head to clean up all the fields that are prayer locations. This is to minimize the potential for waste," he said.
Meanwhile, Bandung Police Chief, Police Commissioner Budi Sartono, revealed that his party will also hold the Ketupat Lodaya operation for 14 days on April 4 - 16 2024.
"1,218 personnel were deployed. From the Polrestabes 826 personnel, the West Java Regional Police 110 personnel, the TNI 180 personnel and the agency 102 personnel," he said.
Bandung Police also established 32 posts, consisting of 1 main post, 1 integrated post, 6 service posts and 24 security posts.
"Specifically for the city of Bandung, we are focusing on traffic jams, accidents and tourist safety areas. For traffic jams, the tourist route is towards Lembang, Dr Djunjunan route, Jalan Pasirkaliki, Jalan Soekarno Hatta, Jalan Asia Afrika and Cibiru roundabout and Ir. H Djuanda, " he said.
"Tourist routes include the Zoo, Traffic Park, Trans Studio, Kiara Artha Park, Al Jabbar and all malls in Bandung City," he said. (yan)**
