217,000 Polri personnel were deployed to oversee the policy.
“We will hold a candlelight operation. In the candle operation, the National Police Chief emphasized that he would maximize and optimize the micro-scale PPKM post,” said Head of the Public Relations Division of the National Police Headquarters, Inspector General Dedi Prasetyo in a statement, Friday (11/26/2021).
