TEMPO.CO, Bekasi - Chief of the Bekasi Police Senior Commissioner Priyo Widyanto, said that the Police will take firm action against anyone sweeping entertainment venues during the fasting season of Ramadhan. "We have had our order from the [Bekasi] mayor," Priyo told Tempo.
"Do not let social group takes over police duty," said Priyo. Therefore, Priyo asked the people to report any sweeping operation against entertainment venues.
Moreover, Priyo said that the Police are committed to maintain public order, which has been proven with the demolition of thousands of liquor. Earlier today, Bekasi police demolished 16,000 bottles of liquor, along with other illegal substances such as alcohol and chemical compound.
According to the Bekasi mayor's recommendation, all entertainment venues must stop operational activities three days before the fasting month begins.
