Tangerang City Government Tightens Coordination to Secure Vacant Homes Ahead of Mudik
The Tangerang City Government (Pemkot) is taking preventive measures to safeguard the area during the Eid al-Fitr mudik season. Mayor Sachrudin has instructed all sub-district heads (camats) and village heads (lurah) to strengthen synergy with RT/RW administrators and the TNI and Polri in safeguarding the environment, particularly in residential areas with many vacant homes.
“We want people who are going on mudik to feel at ease because the place they leave behind remains monitored and safe. Cross‑sector coordination must be strengthened and responses to community reports must be rapid,” said Sachrudin in Tangerang on Thursday (5/3).
Cross-Sector Coordination
At city level, the Tangerang City Government continues to refine coordination with all stakeholders to ensure Eid al-Fitr celebrations are smooth, safe, and orderly. Sachrudin stressed that readiness of service delivery and security is a top priority.
“We want to ensure all aspects of service delivery and security are truly prepared. Synergy with all elements, from regional apparatus, local security forces, to the TNI and Polri, will be strengthened so that the public can welcome Eid al-Fitr with calm and comfort,” he added.
Optimization of Public Services
Even though there are adjustments to working hours during Ramadan, the Mayor emphasised that public services must continue to operate optimally. He urged local authorities to actively enforce regulations and the circular during the holy month to maintain a conducive atmosphere.
“Local authorities must actively coordinate with the related regional devices in enforcing regulations and circulars during the holy month, so that a comfortable and conducive environment is created,” he asserted.
Logistics and Transport Readiness
Beyond security factors, the Tangerang City Government is also focusing on:
“We must accelerate across sectors so that the needs of the people during Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr are met well. The Eid post must be ready, the management of the mudik and balik traffic must be smooth, price stability must be maintained, and health services must remain on standby,” he concluded.
In line with this, the Head of the Tangerang City Transportation Agency (Dishub), Achmad Suhaely, said they had carried out technical preparations from restricting large vehicles to installing road signs.
“We, together with the Police and the TNI, are ready to conduct a joint drill for regional security ahead of the mudik season,” Suhaely closed. (Ant/P-2)
