Satpol PP, Denpasar's municipal police force, launched its SABERGEP operation on Friday, a sweep targeting homeless people and beggars across the city. Officers also took action against street performers and elderly residents, known locally as 'manusia silver', who spend their days in public spaces. The crackdown is part of regular enforcement against informal activity in parks and on sidewalks. No figures on how many people were picked up were given in the report.
