Satpol PP Demolishes 120 Illegal Structures in Pasir Putih, Depok

The Depok Public Order Agency (Satpol PP) has carried out an operation against illegal structures along Jalan Pasir Putih, Sawangan, Depok. A total of 120 illegal buildings were demolished.

“Today’s operation is a follow-up to reports from residents regarding illegal structures around Jalan Pasir Putih. There are 120 buildings in accordance with the warning letters we issued,” said Head of Depok Satpol PP Dede Hidayat to reporters on Wednesday (19/8/2026).

Dede said his office had sent warning letters to those who erected the illegal structures. He stated that the demolished buildings violated river setback regulations.

“In accordance with procedure, we issued warning letters 1, 2, and 3. And thank God, many residents were self-aware that the structures we are taking action against violate the river setback line and are located on the riverbank,” he explained.

“They are aware of that, and thank God the enforcement operation proceeded effectively and in an orderly manner,” he added.

Dede said 200 joint personnel were deployed in the operation against the illegal structures, consisting of Satpol PP, the Indonesian National Armed Forces (TNI), and the Indonesian National Police (Polri). He said enforcement would also be carried out in other locations.

“The enforcement we are carrying out is being done in stages. We are here on behalf of the Depok City Government as part of a joint team. This is because colleagues from the Ministry of Environment and Forestry and the Ministry of Public Works and Housing have already inspected the location. And later the village head and sub-district head have conveyed to us to prepare a request letter for further enforcement related to river normalisation,” he concluded.
