COVALIMA, |LLINTASTIMOR.ID]– Komando Polisi Nasional Timor-Leste (PNTL) Kabupaten Covalima terus melaksanakan implementasi Orden Alerta II sebagai langkah pengamanan wilayah.
Operasi gabungan yang dipimpin oleh Inspektur Asisten Polisi Moises do Carmo Marçal ini melibatkan personel dari Satuan Lalu Lintas dan Keamanan Jalan Raya, Satuan Cadangan Intervensi Cepat, serta beberapa seksi lainnya. Tim melakukan kegiatan Operasi Stop (checkpoint) di kawasan Rai Fila, Pos Administratif Zumalai, Covalima.
Dalam operasi tersebut, petugas mendapati banyak warga yang keluar-masuk Covalima menuju Dili maupun ke beberapa kabupaten lain. Namun, sebanyak 10 pengendara terjaring karena tidak memiliki SIM sesuai kategori, tidak membawa dokumen kendaraan, atau dokumen kendaraan telah kedaluwarsa. Para pelanggar kemudian dikenai denda dan diarahkan melakukan pembayaran di Bank BNCTL Cabang Covalima.
Menurut PNTL, kegiatan ini bukan sekadar penegakan aturan lalu lintas, tetapi juga langkah pencegahan agar pihak ketiga tidak menyusup ke dalam aktivitas mahasiswa Universitas Timor-Leste (EUTL) yang sedang menunggu hasil pembahasan parlemen terkait penghapusan Undang-Undang Pensiun Seumur Hidup.
Selain itu, operasi juga bertujuan mengedukasi masyarakat untuk tertib berlalu lintas serta melindungi warga dari potensi bencana dan risiko tak terduga di jalan raya.
“PNTL berharap masyarakat semakin sadar pentingnya membawa dokumen lengkap serta menghormati aturan lalu lintas untuk keselamatan bersama,” demikian pernyataan resmi Media PNTL Covalima.

COVALIMA, LINTASTIMOR.ID – The National Police of Timor-Leste (PNTL) in Covalima Municipality continues to enforce Alerta II Order as part of ongoing security measures.
The joint operation, led by Assistant Inspector Moises do Carmo Marçal, involved officers from the Traffic and Road Safety Unit, the Rapid Intervention Reserve Unit, and other sections. The team carried out a “Stop Operation” (checkpoint) in Rai Fila, Zumalai Administrative Post, Covalima.
During the operation, many citizens traveling in and out of Covalima on their way to Dili or other municipalities were inspected. However, 10 drivers were found violating regulations by driving without the appropriate category license, carrying expired vehicle documents, or failing to present vehicle papers. These offenders were fined and instructed to pay at BNCTL Bank Covalima Branch.
According to PNTL, the operation was not only about enforcing traffic rules but also aimed at preventing third parties from infiltrating student activities of the East Timor University (EUTL), who are awaiting the outcome of parliamentary discussions on abolishing the Lifetime Pension Law.
The operation also sought to raise public awareness on road safety and to protect communities from unexpected risks and hazards on public roads.
“PNTL hopes the community will increasingly understand the importance of carrying valid documents and respecting traffic regulations for the safety of all,” read the official statement from PNTL Covalima Media.
