Despite the improved situation, Sarolangun Police Precinct chief Adj. Sr. Comr. Ridho Hartawan said that police personnel remained on alert to protect hundreds of Ahmadis in the region.
'We have met Sarolangun Regent Cek Endra to discuss this issue,' said Ridho, adding that all residents had the right to perform their religious practices. Ridho also called on villagers not to get easily provoked.
