inp.polri.go.id - Serang. The Indonesian National Police distributed 458 tons of rice and 15,000 food packages for the people of Banten who were affected by the emergency Community Activity Restrictions.
The Indonesian National Police Chief General of Police Listyo Sigit Prabowo asked the Security and Public Order, Village Builder, the Sector and Military Police chiefs to map the needs of the community so that no one is in trouble and social assistance has not been touched. "Please check if it is not enough, submit it again, then it will be distributed from the center later," said Sigit in Serang, Banten, Sunday (07/18/2021).
The four-star general was also directly involved in distributing food packages to residents of the Kaujon Singandaru neighbourhood of Neighbourhood 01/22.
The first house he visited was Eneng Rahmah, 70 years old a widow. Then the house of Syantiah Rahmawat. Next up is Multi Ningsih's house, selling ketoprak (Jakartan Salad Type) and Ayuni, selling meatballs.
In addition to distributing food packages, the National Police Chief also visited the Micro-Community Activity Restriction's Command Post in Serang Village. This region consists of 27 hamlets and 118 neighbourhood with total neighbourhood populations of as many as 26,914 people.
Sigit had a dialogue with one of the residents who were in virtual self-isolation.
Sigit also reviewed vaccinations at the University of Sultan Agung Tirtyasa (Untirta) Serang. He admitted that he would speed up vaccination in Banten Province. The reason is that even though it is close to the capital city, the acceleration is still 14%. "Next week the National Armed Forces and National Police will gang up on Banten to carry out mass vaccinations," he explained.
The former Banten Regional Police Chief invited all elements of society, including volunteers, activists, students, Youth Social organizations and Mass Organizations who have the ability to join as vaccinator officers. "Let's work together so that the acceleration of vaccination can be achieved immediately. And the herd immunity that we hope for together will soon be realized," he said.
Sigit revealed that the national Covid-19 growth rate was above 50,000, so it needed continuous efforts to immediately reduce its growth rate.
"From the evaluation, the level of community compliance and discipline in several areas of Banten is at 90%. However, in three areas the figure is still below 90%, so I hope it needs to be improved," he explained.
