The agency has urged the public to ensure that their homes are safe and to inform their neighbors before leaving.

Satriadi added that increased surveillance will also be focused on several locations that are likely to experience a surge in public activity, such as tourist attractions after Eid al-Fitr.
According to him, the presence of Satpol PP personnel at these locations is crucial to ensuring a sense of security and comfort for visitors.
