RIAU - The Riau Police and Dumai Police Joint Team followed up on the temporary closure of a number of game arena business locations with the proposed revocation of permits to the government, because the business had the potential for gambling.

Dumai Police Chief AKBP Nurhadi Ismanto in Dumai, Sunday, March 12 confirmed that the revocation of the game's arena business license would be submitted to the Regional and Central Governments because his efforts indicated facilitating gambling activities and disturbing the public.

"In yesterday's joint operation, we sealed the location of the game arena and it was not allowed to operate, then it was proposed to revoke the business license to the government," said Police Chief Nurhadi to reporters.

In addition to posting temporary closure pamphlets, they were also fitted with a seal in front of the door of the place of business. The police at that time detained dozens of people consisting of managers, players and employees as well as a game arena engine at the Golden location or tasker Zone on Hasanuddin Street, Dumai City.

All players who are secured will then be recorded and questioned, while the management will be examined further.

The joint operation of the Riau Police and Dumai Police is in the context of law enforcement because gambling elements are found in the game and to answer public unrest, especially mothers.

Previously, dozens of people from the Dumai Indigenous Law Community (MHAD) on Saturday, March 11 at around 15.00 WIB visited all the location of the game arena in Dumai City because they suspected that there was an element of gambling.

The action orator, Ismunandar, explicitly asked the authorities to close all playing arenas operating in Dumai City, because they have disturbed the public.

"This game is already troubling, and we ask the authorities to close it immediately because it is indicated to be a gambling arena," said Ismunandar at the time.
