Inp.polri.go.id – Jakarta. Ministry of Home Affairs (Mendagri) who also heads National Border Management Agency (BNPP) Tito Karnavian states his party is coordinating with Indonesian Military Force (TNI) and Indonesian National Police (INP) to monitor shortcuts and small paths in border area. According to Minister Tito, TNI-INP requires community support to optimize their monitoring. “Definitely we will communicate it with our colleagues from TNI-INP. However, TNI-INP are not able to monitor all those paths as they did not enough force. That is why we need the support from the general public,” says Minister Tito quoted from Antara on Wednesday (12/13/2023). Tito says that the small paths and shortcuts have become one of vulnerable areas in border area. The prime example of this issue has been long occurred in Kalimantan-Malaysia border and Papua-Papua New Guinea border. “The issues of this small paths are that it’s often used to for travel or transport logistics. Well it is all good if it used properly, but what if it’s not?” says Tito. (ad/ndt/pr/nm)
