JAKARTA - DKI Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung responded to the rampant circulation of tramadol hard drugs that were freely traded in the Tanah Abang area, Central Jakarta. He emphasized that he would ask the DKI Jakarta Police Unit (Satpol PP) to enforce discipline.
According to him, the sale of illegal and illegal analgesics of opioid analgesics is dangerous, especially because it is often abused by teenagers and other vulnerable groups.
"We will be disciplined, I will ask Satpol PP to discipline it. So I also happen to follow the news about this," said Pramono at the DKI Jakarta City Hall, Wednesday, January 28.
Following up on this statement, the Head of the DKI Jakarta Satpol PP, Satriadi Gunawan, stated that the ban on the sale of tramadol could not be carried out unilaterally. According to him, this step must be accompanied by cross-agency coordination, especially with the Food and Drug Supervisory Agency (BPOM) and the police.
"We will do it later, in the future we must first coordinate with BPOM, then with the police, periodically we will also carry out enforcement," said Satriadi.
Satriadi revealed that throughout 2025, Satpol PP had carried out a number of enforcement operations against the circulation of illegal drugs in Jakarta. From the operation, officers seized 39,436 pieces of tramadol from various locations.
"Well, now it's the beginning, 2026. Then later we will continue to carry out operations related to the prosecution of the sale of prohibited drugs," he said.
He added that the control strategy would be carried out in a closed manner so as not to leak to the perpetrators. Satriadi said that the intelligence approach was the key to making the enforcement operation effective.
"Cuman kan memang harus strateginya harus jangan sampai bocor gitu. Jadi, harus intelnya juga harus main. Memang harus sifatnya kayak OTT begitu lah," ucap Satriadi.
Satriadi ensured that raids on the sale of tramadol and other prohibited drugs would continue to be carried out regularly. According to him, the number of evidence seized so far is an indicator that supervision is carried out periodically.
Regarding the action against dealers, Satriadi said that the authority was in the hands of the police because it was in the realm of criminal acts. Satpol PP, he said, was more focused on regulating business places and giving administrative sanctions.
