The Indonesian Military and National Police ripped down private structures along the coastline of popular tourist island Gili Trawangan.

In late February, the North Lombok regency administration said it would carry out building inspections on 143 businesses, including restaurants, hotels and bars on Gili Trawangan. The administration claimed many of these businesses were in clear violation of the local coastline building rules, meaning they unofficially monopolized areas of the beach that did not rightfully belong to them.

It seems the administration has kept its word. On Sunday, February 26, the Indonesian Military Police and National Police arrived on the famous tourist island and started tearing down structures.
