The Civil Service Police Unit (Satpol PP) of Bogor Regency, West Java, has brought order to the night market in the Pakansari Stadium area, Cibinong, Bogor.

Secretary of the Bogor Regency Satpol PP Iman Wahyu Budiana explained that his party as an Enforcement of Regional Regulations (Perda) of Bogor Regency dismantled unlicensed stalls operating on government-owned land.

Some of the rides that were dismantled, he said, were in the form of playing comedy and turning to tents where they sell.

"Today we are dismantling a play comedy that stands on the land of the Bogor Regency Government," said Iman as quoted by ANTARA, Tuesday, July 25.

He explained that the night market activity had violated Regional Regulation Number 4 of 2015 concerning Public Order.

According to him, the Bogor Regency Satpol PP is committed to controlling every activity that disturbs public order in its territory.

Regarding the problem of the night market, he said, his party is often overwhelmed by the management. Because, they have been brought under control several times, but they are back in operation.

Satpol PP, he said, had coordinated with other regional apparatus to immediately organize the land used for the night market so as not to be reused by market managers.

"We did the demolition and it has been discussed between us (with the related SKPD) because we have dismantled it several times. If it is not followed by SKPDlain, it will appear again, now we have discussed it," he said.
