PURWAKARTA - All entertainment venues in Purwakarta must be closed during the month of Ramadan 1444 Hijri. If anyone is stubborn, there will be strict sanctions from the government.
This was conveyed by the Head of the Peace and Public Order Division of the Purwakarta Regency Satpol PP, Teguh Juarsa. He also said that his party had carried out operations to nightclubs in his area.
"A few days ago we carried out optimal operations to nightclubs in Purwakarta," Teguh said, as quoted from Antara, Thursday, March 23.
The operation which was carried out ahead of Ramadan was carried out as part of a form of socialization regarding the prohibition of opening night entertainment venues during Ramadan. This is stated in the Circular of the Regent of Purwakarta Anne Ratna Mustika with Number KB 03.03.03/801-KESRA/2023.
The operation which was held ahead of Ramadan was socialization and an appeal to entrepreneurs or managers of nightclubs to temporarily close during Ramadan.
Teguh said that during the holy month of Ramadan, Satpol PP Purwakarta would oversee the actualization of the circular letter. The trick is to carry out joint operations with Subdenpom, Purwakarta Police and TNI ranks from Kodim 0619 Purwakarta.
"If (in its implementation), it is found that the owner of the nightclub will remain open (during Ramadan), we will force it to close," he said.
He said the regent's circular regarding the temporary closure of nightclubs during Ramadan, among other things, aims to make Muslims safe and comfortable in fasting.
Meanwhile, nightclubs in the Purwakarta area, such as karaoke places, are spread over a number of points, from urban to rural points.
