Jakarta's Public Order Agency to crack down on Eid al-Adha animal traders on sidewalks

Jakarta’s Public Order Agency (Satpol PP) of the DKI Jakarta province will patrol to deter and remove vendors selling sacrificial animals on public facilities (fasum), particularly sidewalks, in the run-up to Eid al-Adha 1447 AH.

Head of Satpol PP DKI Jakarta, Satriadi Gunawan, said reports of sacrificial-animal sales on sidewalks have begun to appear in several areas of Jakarta. “We will definitely conduct patrols. If spotted, we will take action immediately,” he told Kompas.com on Thursday, 21 May 2026.

Vendors are asked not to sell in locations that breach regulations. “If they ignore the warning, we will carry out enforcement,” he said.

Although he did not detail the number of violations found across Jakarta, Satriadi assured that enforcement would continue until near Eid al-Adha. “We will certainly keep enforcing,” he added.

Pramono said the provincial government has issued instructions that activities involving the sale of sacrificial animals should not take place in locations not appropriate for the purpose. He stressed that this enforcement step is taken to maintain order and the comfort of public spaces in Jakarta. “In Jakarta I have issued instructions that selling is not allowed in places that disrupt public activities, especially on sidewalks, in gardens, in parks,” Pramono told Balai Kota Jakarta on Wednesday, 20 May 2026. He noted that on-the-ground conditions are now much more orderly. “Thus such acts should be warned immediately and they should not sell, and currently there are almost none in Jakarta,” he added.
