JAKARTA - Having closed for a while, now the localization of Mount Antang is back open. The East Jakarta Satpol PP also brought order to the women and mashers who were at the location, on Friday morning, March 21.

During the raid, officers found the whereabouts of commercial sex workers (PSK) who were hanging out in the Cipinang area, Jatinegara District, East Jakarta. Seeing the arrival of Satpol PP officers, the prostitutes fled to save themselves.

Subsequently, a chase between a joint Satpol PP officer and a female prostitute ensued. In fact, the prostitute woman was almost hit by a vehicle while trying to save herself. The prostitute woman managed to escape the Satpol PP ambush.

Because there was no target for raids, Satpol PP resumed operations in the Gunung Antang prostitution localization area, which is under the railroad tracks (KA) Matraman Station, Jatinegara, East Jakarta.

Officers raided dimly lit stalls, love booths and music cafes in the Gunung Antang area, Jalan Matraman Raya, Jatinegara. But again, this raid did not reap results.

When the Satpol PP officers arrived, the area was already sterile from prostitutes. It is strongly suspected that this raid had leaked so that officers could not find the whereabouts of prostitutes in the Gunung Antang localization.

Officers only found the drink sellers ending and confiscated dozens of bottles of alcohol from a music cafe localized Mount Antang.

In addition to alcohol and sex worker raids, officers also raided firecracker traders selling along Jalan Matraman Raya and confiscated hundreds of types of firecrackers.

This fire extinguisher was confiscated because it was allegedly one of the sources causing the brawl in East Jakarta. In addition, officers also secured a number of Social Welfare Service Providers or homeless people in the Jatinegara area.

They were then taken to the Cipayung Social Institution. This activity is to maintain the solemnity of the month of Ramadan.

East Jakarta Satpol PP Head, Charles Siahaan, said that his party from the East Jakarta Satpol PP simultaneously carried out controlling community diseases to anticipate disturbances during fasting.

He further said that the purpose and purpose of the operation was so that there would be no more violations in the community regarding the circulation of liquor and other public diseases.

"So that there are no more violations of public diseases such as PPKS and blind women who are still carrying out activities in Ramadan," he said when confirmed, Friday, March 21.

Meanwhile, the area carried out by raids was along Jalan DI Panjaitan, under the railroad tracks (KA) of Matraman Station, localizing the prostitution of Mount Antang, Kampung Melayu to I Gusti Ngurah Rai.

"As a result, we got 60 bottles (of alcohol) and 12 firecrackers. The firecrackers and minol traders will be sanctioned by the tipiring trial," he said.
