JAYAPURA - Jayapura Police Chief Kombes Victor Mackbon said the places where liquor or alcoholic beverages were sold were closed at Christmas 2023.

The closure was in accordance with the instructions of the Mayor of Jayapura issued on December 11, 2023, regarding restrictions and prohibitions on selling and consuming alcoholic beverages.

The closure of the place where alcoholic beverages are sold was enforced from December 24 to 26, 2023.

The instructions signed by the Acting Mayor of Jayapura were also mentioned regarding restrictions on activities that caused sounds during Christmas and New Year celebrations.

He explained that the ban was issued to minimize

sales of alcoholic beverages while celebrating Christmas and the new year.

To ensure the implementation of these instructions, his party will promote patrols including joint patrols.

Locations that are predicted to be places of sale and circulation of alcoholic beverages, including manufacturers, continue to be of concern.

"Hopefully, the ban accompanied by the imposition of patrols can suppress the circulation of alcoholic beverages in Jayapura City," hoped Police Chief Kombes Victor Mackbon.
