The Civil Service Police Unit (Satpol PP) of Bogor Regency, West Java, carried out the disbandment of dozens of song guides at nightclubs in the Sukaraja area.

Head of the General Order Division of the Bogor Regency Satpol PP, Rhama Kodara, revealed that dozens of song guides were disbanded while gathering late at a karaoke place.

When raided by Satpol PP officers, they were not active in singing songs.

"With thebukber alibi (opening fast together) here. We as officers don't believe it right away, we finally disband, we close," said Rhama, quoted by ANTARA, Monday, March 18.

Although he has not been able to confirm that the night entertainment venues raided operate, he admits that he will impose strict sanctions on the manager if the place is proven to operate during the month of Ramadan 1445 Hijri.

"We have not been able to prove that there were no activities (night entertainment venues), only song guides were found, if it is proven that our activities will be forced to close, we will install PPNS, temporary seal," he said.

Rhama also appealed to managers of nightclubs to follow the existing regulations, to maintain conduciveness in the month of Ramadan.

"As law enforcers, we will carry out routines for a week, we can carry out patrols four times, so that if someone carries out activities, we will close them forcibly," said Rhama.

The Bogor Regency Government, West Java, through the Bogor Regent's Circular (SE) prohibits the operation of nightclubs (THM) in its area during Ramadan 1445 Hijri. The prohibition applies to all THM without exception, such as karaoke venues, massage parlors, and others.

Rhama said, a few days before Ramadan 1445 Hijriah, the Bogor Regency District Leadership Coordination Forum (Forkopimcam) also streamlined the socialization of the THM operational ban during Ramadan.

"The sub-district has received a circular from the Acting Regent, a socialization letter to entrepreneurs, from now on, the socialization has been carried out, at least it's just a matter of waiting for the implementation to be fasted," he said.

Thus, there is no longer any reason for THM entrepreneurs to disrespect and maintain order to worship in the holy month of Ramadan.
