Minimize the circulation of illegal drugs in the community

South Jakarta Satpol PP Acting Head, Rahmat Efendi Lubis said, this supervision is a follow-up to the Jakarta Governor's Decision Number 330/2024 about Coordination Team for Development and Supervision of Drugs and Food.

"We also run the Satpol PP's mandate in order to enforce regulations or minimize the circulation of illegal drugs in the community," he expressed, Tuesday (5/20).

He explained the 19,103 pills of illegal drugs were detected following people reports and inspections of several drug and cosmetic stores in 10 sub-districts throughout South Jakarta.

This operation involved personnel from South Jakarta Health Sub-agency, BBPOM, BBN, army, and police.

"The evidence was destroyed directly at the location in front of its owner. Some were also destroyed at the local government office in front of its owner and other parties," he explained.

Besides supervision, he also worked together to educate about the misuse of drug sales and the negative impacts caused by consuming drugs without a doctor's prescription.

"We also urge residents to report any potential disturbances to public peace and order via JAKI app or directly to the local government office," he said.
