It was also supported by the Regional Regulation No. 6 of 2015 that states the government in exercising its authority can organize, manage, and conduct supervision to prevent and cope with various negative impacts for the wider community.
"So, the purpose of issued letter was to control it all. We do not want it to be wider. From a long time ago, problems related to Alexis were keep on appearing. And, this is our stance," Reinaldi explained.
