Jakarta –

The TNI-Polri of Jakarta Satpol PP conducted a justisi operation to discipline the wearing of masks in the community. In this activity, the National Police collaborated with market thugs to participate in the discipline of residents in the market environment.

Deputy Chief of Police Komjen Gatot Edy Pramono said that the involvement of market thugs is of course under the direction and supervision of law enforcement officers. Bullies are asked to be humanists when disciplining citizens.

“We also expect there to be agents of internal discipline in the market groups hunter-hunter new (bullies, red). We make them enforce discipline, but they are still led by TNI-Polri in a humanistic way, “Gatot said at Polda Metro Jaya, Jakarta, on Thursday (10/9/2020).

In addition, the deputy chief of police said that the justisi operation will be carried out from today. In addition to the TNI-Polri, Satpol PP participates in the discipline of wearing masks.

Justisi operations are carried out in environments that are part of the Corona cluster, such as markets and offices.

“Of course, we also ask local governments which clusters are vulnerable, such as markets and offices, etc. We will guard them there. We will have TNI-Polri there, also Satpol PP. The objective is to minimize transmission in these clusters, maybe not know. It is surprising if there are police, there is TNI, there is Satpol PP. Our goal is not to be repressive, “added Gatot.

The three-star general also said that the TNI-Polri together with the COVID-19 Task Force and the KPU would distribute a total of more than 34 million masks throughout Indonesia. This is part of the campaign to keep distance to avoid crowds in the context of Operation Yustisi and the Pilkada 2020 safe and sound.
