JAKARTA - Head of the DKI Jakarta Civil Service Police Unit (Satpol PP) Satriadi Gunawan reminded the public not to play with firecrackers, especially during the night of takbiran or ahead of Eid Al-Fitr.
"Satpol PP urges the public to avoid playing with firecrackers because in addition to endangering themselves, it can also endanger other people," Satriadi told reporters, Tuesday, March 18.
Satriadi explained, of the various types of firecrackers circulating in the community, such as firecrackers and types of glide fireworks, they are basically made of dangerous and flammable explosives.
"Playing with firecrackers is more detrimental than bringing benefits. In addition, it can also have the potential for fires and can present potential friction between groups of brawls," he stressed.
Satriadi said the ban on the use of firecrackers in Jakarta was contained in Regional Regulation (Perda) Number 8 of 2007 concerning Public Order.
Article 19 letter a states that every person or body is prohibited from making, selling and storing firecrackers and the like. Article 19 letter b states that everyone is not allowed to sound firecrackers and the like except for the governor's or appointed official's permission.
