OIKN Takes Strong Action Against Illegal Activities in Nusantara Capital

Enforcement Targets Illegal Scrap Metal and Tuak Stalls

The Nusantara Capital Authority (OIKN) has conducted a comprehensive operation to dismantle 39 illegal scrap metal trading locations and 18 illegal tuak stalls in the Nusantara Capital region of East Kalimantan. This enforcement action demonstrates the authority's commitment to maintaining public order and security in Indonesia's developing new capital city.

Background and Rationale

The operation was initiated in response to public complaints regarding these illegal activities, which were deemed to be disturbing public peace and order. Additionally, the decision was influenced by previous incidents of construction material theft in the area, which necessitated preventive measures. According to Thomas Umbu Pati, Deputy for Development Control at OIKN, the authority took these steps as a proactive and preventive measure to address the growing concerns.

Implications for Nusantara Capital Development

This enforcement action is part of OIKN's broader efforts to establish a secure and orderly environment in the Nusantara Capital region. As Indonesia's new capital continues to develop, maintaining law and order remains a top priority for the authorities. The operation sends a strong signal that illegal activities will not be tolerated in the area.
