Residents of East Jakarta May Be Fined Rp50 Million If Dengue Mosquito Larvae are Found in Their Homes

Dream - The East Jakarta City Civil Service Police (Satpol PP) will provide warnings and fines for residents if mosquito larvae of Aedes aegypti are found inside their houses. This is an effort to suppress the spread of dengue fever cases.

Kasatpol PP East Jakarta, Budhy Novian, said that the implementation of this fine sanction refers to article 21 jo 22 paragraph 1 of Regional Regulation number 6 of 2007 concerning the control of dengue fever. In that article, it is mentioned that the maximum fine sanction is Rp 50 million or imprisonment for two to three months. Budhy explained that before being subject to sanctions, residents whose houses are found to have mosquito larvae during the implementation of PSN will be given a warning letter first. In the initial stage, residents will be given the first warning letter (SP1).

"The issuance of warning letters has started to be implemented, last Friday (31/5). There were 24 residents who were given SP1 because mosquito larvae were found in their houses during PSN. The highest number was in Ciracas, Jatinegara, and Matraman Districts."

Meanwhile, the East Jakarta Health Department Head, Herwin Meifendy, stated that the imposition of sanctions is the authority of the Public Order Agency (Satpol PP).
