JAKARTA - Head of DKI Jakarta Satpol PP Arifin claimed that the trend of youth brawls ahead of the month of Ramadan began to decrease. Arifin said this happened because of prevention efforts implemented by the DKI Provincial Government some time ago.

"It has decreased. There has been no fighting during the fasting month. But we still do appeals for preemptiveness, prevention is much better. This means taking precautions," said Arifin at the City Hall of DKI Jakarta, Friday, March 8.

Therefore, Arifin asked Jakarta residents to stop fighting which caused chaos in the month of Ramadan this year.

"Give everything to all parties, both teenagers, yes all. Fill in the month of Ramadan with useful activities. Don't be littered with brawl activities. It shouldn't exist," said Arifin.

Along with that, the DKI Provincial Government is preparing for the implementation of security and order in Jakarta in the month of Ramadan to Eid al-Fitr.

It is planned that the Satpol PP ranks will again carry out surveillance patrols for beggars, selling firecrackers, nightclubs, and selling alcoholic beverages in the capital city.

However, Arifin said that his party was still waiting for the issuance of regulations from cross-regional work units (SKPD) as the basis for its supervision.

"The Satpol PP, which will carry out monitoring, will issue a policy from the Tourism Office. In principle, we welcome the month of Ramadan with activities that are full of charity and worship," explained Arifin.

"The name is patrol, the appeal is carried out by the Satpol PP ranks at the excise and sub-district levels. The patrol appeal can be in the form of traveling to villages. So far, we have socialized. For example, for example, the movement to stay away from drugs. Well, tomorrow is the same in Ramadan," he added.
