JAKARTA - The Central Jakarta City Government formed an integrated task force team in monitoring all green parks and open spaces (RTH) in Central Jakarta. This is to prevent irregularities in the use of park facilities.

"We from the Central Jakarta City Government will create a task force team regarding the findings of bottles of alcohol and the activities of irresponsible people who drink alcohol," said Central Jakarta City Government Assistant, Denny Ramdany, Thursday, November 2.

Denny said the Integrated Work Apparatus Unit (UKPD) involved in the task force was the City Parks and Forests Sub-department and the Central Jakarta Civil Service Police Unit.

"The two UKPDs have different roles. If the Parks Sub-Department, we ask them to make a ban rule that is not allowed while in the park. And it must be installed in all parks in Central Jakarta," he said.

Meanwhile, Satpol PP enforces regional regulations (Perda) regarding public order (Tibum). Satpol PP can also cooperate with the police in creating conditions that do not disturb residents.

"The Satpol PP can cooperate with the police if there is a criminal act under surveillance in the park," he said.

Previously, the Central Jakarta Satpol PP reasoned that it had collided with the Online Single Submissionon (OSS) program formed by the Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM) related to the PD Evi store business which was suspected of selling liquor (alcohol) near the Pramuka Pasar Genjing park, Central Jakarta so that no action could be taken.

Central Jakarta Satpol PP admitted that they could only check the completeness of permits from alcoholic store owners related to local wisdom. For example, have local residents agreed regarding the sale of alcohol.

Central Jakarta Satpol PP also gave responsibility to the Parks and Forestry Sub-department.

Responding to the problem, the Head of the DKI Jakarta Provincial Police, Arifin promised to immediately check the location of the sale of alcohol.

According to him, this check is to ensure that there are administrative matters.

"We will check the location to check the completeness of the permit," Arifin told reporters, Thursday, October 26.
