Crowd At Babel Coffee Shop Disbanded Yustisi Team, Bandel Operates By Passing PPKM Level 3 Provisions

BABEL - The Belitung Regency Judiciary Team, Bangka Belitung Islands Province dispersed a crowd of visitors to a coffee shop persuasively.

The operation of this coffee shop has exceeded the time limit allowed during the Level 3 Community Activity Restrictions (PPKM) in this area.

"During PPKM Level 3, the time limit for serving diners to eat on the spot is until 22.00 WIB," said Plt Kasatpol PP Belitung, MZ Hendra Caya accompanied by the Head of Public Order and Security Division of Belitung PP Satpol Abdul Sani, in Tanjung Pandan, Antara, Sunday, September 19.

According to him, apart from dispersing the crowd in one of the coffee shops, a joint team consisting of Satpol PP, BPBD and TNI/Polri also dispersed visitors in the courtyard of the National Building, which was still at the location above at 22.00 WIB.

"We took action and asked them to disband and to business actors to close their business activities, because the time limit has been exceeded," he said.

Abdul Sani added that during PPKM Level 3, the time limit for business actors to receive and serve dine-in guests was until 22.00 WIB.

"When we arrived at 22.30, they were still there, so we were forced to ask them to disperse because it had exceeded about 30 minutes from the stipulated operating hours," he said.

He appealed to visitors and business actors to continue to comply with the implementation of PPKM Level 3 in the area until 20 September.

"Although COVID-19 cases have decreased, the PPKM rules must still be obeyed until September 20, and we are waiting for the new regulatory policy whether the level will be lowered later," he said again.
