Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung has urged to residents planning their annual Idulfitri mudik (exodus) to notify local neighborhood officials before departing for their hometowns.

It is intended as a strategic measure to tighten security for residences left vacant during the holiday season. The Jakarta government is currently preparing an official circular to formalize this directive.

"We'll issue a circular letter to be signed by the City Secretary, requesting that departing residents register their departure with their local neighborhood heads (RT/RW) or urban village office beforehand," he expressed, Friday (2/27).

To support this initiative, the Jakarta government will revitalize neighborhood watch programs, known locally as Siskamling, across all districts throughout the holiday exodus.

"To safeguard our communities and maintain security, we will reinvigorate grassroots surveillance during the mudik season," he expressed.

While the official circular is currently being finalized, residents are encouraged to begin notifying local authorities immediately.

"The process can certainly start now. We invite anyone planning to travel to coordinate with their respective RT/RW starting today," he concluded.

Untuk itu, Pemerintah Jakarta juga akan menggalakkan kembali Sistem Keamanan Lingkungan (Siskamling) di seluruh wilayah Jakarta selama masa mudik berlangsung.

"Untuk menjaga keamanan sekaligus menjaga lingkungan, maka nanti siskamling ketika saat mudik akan kami galakkan kembali," kata dia.

Meski surat edaran tengah disiapkan, Pramono menyebut warga sudah bisa mulai melapor terkait rencana mudik lebaran mulai saat ini.

"Sekarang pastinya sudah bisa dilakukan. Jadi kalau warga mau mudik, kami persilakan untuk melapor kepada RT/RW setempat," tandas Pram.
