According to him, some were rejected, as the applicant was unable to meet the provisions of the verification process in the Permit Administration and Technical Research.

"We rejected 66.6 percent, as they did not meet substantial conditions," he stressed.

He stated most applicants were from outside Jakarta and had travel activities according to the eleven permitted sectors and their activities were in Greater Jakarta.

"We also got a request for a plan to go outside Greater Jakarta for halal bihalal gatherings. Surely we reject it," he stressed.
