The Image of a City of Santri in the Spotlight, Gresik DPRD Responds to FPG Complaint About Rising Drugs and Lap Bars

The Gresik DPRD plans to summon related government offices over violations of moral norms, following up on input from the Gresik Concerned Forum (FPG). The FPG, made up of habibs, kiai, ustadz, and community figures, voiced worries about the rampant spread of drugs, the presence of lap bars, as well as findings of workers who are HIV-positive and abusing narcotics. The Speaker of Gresik DPRD, M. Syahrul Munir, said the hearing with FPG was held on Monday (27/7). He thinks these various issues could wear down Gresik’s identity as a City of Wali and City of Santri. The summoning of government offices is scheduled for Wednesday (July 29) to follow up on these alleged violations. Habib Hasan bin Abdullah Assegaf, representing FPG, calls for stronger supervision and guidance so that Gresik doesn’t lose its identity. The FPG is shining a light on the paradox between the City of Santri nickname and the social problems on the rise. Syahrul appreciates FPG’s role in helping with oversight and stressed the need for collaboration between the government, DPRD, and the community to address social issues. https://kabarbaik.co/citra-kota-santri-jadi-sorotan-dprd-gresik-respons-aduan-fpg-soal-maraknya-narkoba-dan-warung-pangku/
