The Civil Service Police Unit (Satpol PP) and the Fire Department (Damkar) of Purworejo Regency have brought order to the socialization demonstration tool (APS) for the 2024 election campaign. The APS that is brought under control violates the provisions.

This provision is in accordance with Regional Regulation (Perda) Number 3 of 2017 concerning the Implementation of Reclames. This activity is carried out for three days on 9-11 October 2023.

We carried out this control as a form of commitment to enforce applicable regulations and create a more regular and aesthetic environment," said Head of Satpol PP and Damkar Budi Wibowo in Purworejo, Central Java, Tuesday, October 10, confiscated by Antara.

He explained that this control action was an important step in creating order, beauty, and cleanliness in the implementation of billboards in the Purworejo Regency area.

According to him, this activity is not only controlling APS but also other billboards that are not licensed, do not pay taxes, the expiration of the validity period or the wrong billboard in placement.

"We have sent letters to Satpol PP and Damkar some time ago and now it has been followed up. According to our data, there are 701 APS suspected of violating regional regulations spread throughout the Purworejo area. We have given this data to Satpol PP," he said.
