JAKARTA - The Ujungpangkah Sector Police, Gresik Regency, East Java dismissed a citizen's wedding which was held in Cabean Hamlet, Ngemboh Village. Because it is accompanied by dangdut music entertainment and violates the Enforcement of Community Activity Restrictions (PPKM).

"We disbanded, because the event that was held on the side of the road only had recommendations from the Ujungpangkah COVID-19 Task Force for the reception. However, even holding electronic dangdut music gathered a large crowd," said Head of Criminal Investigation of the Ujungpangkah Police, Aipda Yudi Setiawan in Gresik, reported by Antara, Tuesday, January 12th.

He said the event should refer to health protocols based on Perbub No. 22 of 2020, namely only carrying out wedding reception activities.

"However, in the implementation the wedding reception was accompanied by electronic music and invited guests from outside Gresik district. We did not issue a recommendation so we disbanded," Yudi told reporters.

Meanwhile, Deputy Regent of Gresik Muhammad Qosim admitted that the first day of PPKM was not fully effective, because there were still many people hanging out, such as in the cafe complex in the Putri Cempo area.

"Therefore, later we will continue to operate, if visitors to cafes and the like, the capacity exceeds the provisions, we will take action and visitors will be tested rapidly," he said.

Qosim said that his party had also reviewed a number of shopping centers with the Forkompinda group and had complied with PPKM's recommendations by closing all tenants.

"We appreciate it because mall managers have followed the PPKM circular letter, all tenants have closed. In fact, other health protocols are also being enforced," he said.
