Cafe Operates After 10 PM On New Year's Eve, Polda Metro Implements Police Line Sanctions And Revokes Business Permits

JAKARTA - Polda Metro Jaya stated that there will be sanctions for cafes and entertainment venues that continue to operate beyond 22.00 WIB on New Year's Eve. The sanctions are in the form of a police line to the revocation of a business license.

"If they violate this tonight, the sanctions can be applied to the police line first," said Head of Public Relations of Polda Metro Jaya Kombes E. Zulpan to reporters in Jakarta, Friday, December 31.

Then other sanctions in the form of revocation of business licenses. However, said Zulpan, for this sanction it depends on the decision of the Satpol PP.

"After the police line is carried out, the sanctions can also increase to revocation of business licenses, but this is the authority of the regional government," he said.

The sanctions are not only given directly. Previously, the DKI Provincial Government (Pemprov) was said to have socialized about the operational time limit. Where, the time limit refers to the Instruction of the Minister of Home Affairs (Inmendagri) number 66 of 2021.

"It has also been collected and directed by the regional government in this case the Satpol PP, the Tourism Office, to the organizers of entertainment venues or restaurants related to operating hours," said Zulpan.
