Ever Feel The Sensation Of 'Greets' While In China, The Regional Secretary Of The NTB Provincial Government For The Enthusiasm Of The Train Assessment To Mount Rinjani Is Environmentally Damaged
MATARAM - The Provincial Government of West Nusa Tenggara (NTB) dismissed the assumption that the construction of a 10-kilometer cable car from Karang Sidemen, Central Lombok Regency, to the Mount Rinjani area would damage the environment."It will not damage the environment," said the Regional Secretary (Sekda) of the NTB Provincial Government, Lalu Gita Ariadi in Mataram, Antara, Tuesday, January 3.The NTB Regional Secretary gave an example when he visited the bamboo curtain country, precisely in the Tai or Taishan Mountains, in Taian City, Shandong Province, China, which was dubbed the gateway to heaven. Where there is also a cable car in that place."I've taken a cable car in one of the areas in Taian City, Shandong Province, China. I enjoy that it's all green, and the air is fresh. So based on what I see, it turns out that cable car investors also have an interest in maintaining their ecology, because that's what they sell. So, what in China, like that, will also be a cable car in Rinjani," he said.Because they sell the views around them, it is impossible for investors who will build the Rinjani cable car to damage the environment."So it's based on me that I've seen and enjoyed in China. They won't damage the environment. Because investors have an interest there," said the NTB Regional Secretary.Reflecting on this experience, according to the NTB Regional Secretary, if there is damage, the local government will certainly not remain silent about controlling it."Our job is to control to ensure that investors carry out the applicable regulations. Including the matter of environmental impact analysis (Amdal)," said Gita Ariadi.Asked about the pros and cons of the cable car construction plan, Gita emphasized that the provincial government (Pemprov) considered it reasonable. Because maybe the development plan has not been massively socialized.Even so, his party ensures that the permit for the construction of the cable car has been processed. However, the permit process has gone through the applicable mechanisms and procedures."Now the licensing pattern has been made easier. Moreover, the process of Online Single Submission (OSS) is electronically Integrated Business Licensing or Online Single Submission (OSS). So, people don't need to come to the office, by sleeping alone, they can take care of permits," he said.The location of the construction of the Rinjani cable car is in a protected forest area in Karang Sidemen Village, North Batukliang District, Central Lombok Regency. The construction of the cable car in Rinjani was carried out by investors from China through PT Indonesia Lombok Resort.The total area of land used for the cable car reaches 500 hectares with a train length of up to 10 kilometers which will also be equipped with other supporting facilities.The construction of this tourist facility cost IDR 2.2 trillion and was built outside the Gunung Rinjani National Park (TNGR) area. The peak location for the suspension of the train is located about two kilometers below the Pelawangan Rinjani Post.
