Wamena — The Military District Command (Kodim) 1702/Jayawijaya in Papua Pegunungan has committed to supporting the Jayawijaya Police Resort in maintaining public security and order in the region.
The Jayawijaya Local Government held a coordination meeting ahead of Eid al-Fitr and Easter celebrations, attended by the Regional Leadership Coordination Forum (Forkopimda) of Jayawijaya Regency in Papua Pegunungan.
The District Military Commander (Dandim) 1702/Jayawijaya, Lieutenant Colonel Ilham Datu Ramang, stated in a written statement in Wamena on Saturday that the military would continue supporting police efforts to maintain public order and security, including efforts to stabilise basic commodity prices.
“Security is a shared responsibility, and we from the Indonesian National Armed Forces are ready to assist police in creating a conducive situation in this region and to help police and relevant institutions in maintaining stability of basic commodity prices,” he said.
He emphasised the importance of synergy and collaboration between agencies in maintaining basic commodity price stability ahead of Eid al-Fitr and Easter celebrations.
“We hope this activity can have a positive impact for the people of Jayawijaya Regency, especially regarding basic commodity prices ahead of major religious holidays,” he said.
He explained that the coordination meeting was conducted to ensure price stability and the availability of essential goods for the community during the holy month of Ramadan.
“This programme is considered very helpful for the community in meeting their basic needs, particularly ahead of Eid al-Fitr,” he said.
He added that inflation control is not merely about maintaining statistical figures, but also about ensuring the purchasing power of the public remains secure, especially when demand increases during Ramadan and leading up to Eid al-Fitr 1447 Hijri.
“This control measure is considered important so that the community can carry out their religious observances with peace of mind without the fear of rising basic commodity prices,” he said.
