JAKARTA - North Jakarta Satpol PP disciplined a number of beggars during the month of Ramadan in the Tanjung Priok and Kelapa Gading areas on Friday, March 6, 2025.

"A total of 8 beggars consisting of 5 adults and 3 toddlers were successfully reached by officers," said North Jakarta Head of Public Order and Safety, Budhy Novian when confirmed, Friday, March 6.

Budhy said that the target of the crackdown was aimed at beggars who were at a number of street points.

"We continue to intensify outreach to homeless and beggars. Further training is the task of the Social Director," he said.

Furthermore, the 8 beggars who were secured were taken to the North Jakarta Social Sub-Directorate.

"To the donors or residents who feel sorry on the road by giving alms, they are encouraged to channel direct assistance to social welfare institutions. Because feeling sorry by giving on the road does not add to the solution of social problems on the streets," he said.
