PALEMBANG - The South Sumatra Provincial Government threatens to revoke the Mining Business Permit (IUP) of companies that are proven to have violated the rules by illegally crossing public roads.
Head of the South Sumatra Transportation Office, Arinarsa, said that this step was taken as an effort to protect road infrastructure so that it is not damaged by industrial transportation activities, especially mine transportation that is not in accordance with the operational routes that have been determined.
"If that's the case, we will ask for the revocation of the IUP, closure in accordance with the directions of the Governor yesterday," he said in Palembang, Antara, Thursday, January 8.
He explained that his party also encourages the active role of the community in overseeing mining transportation activities on public roads, one of which is through reporting on social media.
Public participation is considered effective to provide social sanctions while narrowing the scope of action for companies that violate the provisions.
"Everyone is watching through social media, social sanctions are also applied. We hope that the community will be proactive in monitoring this," he explained.
Although until now he has not received an official report administratively, the South Sumatra Regional Police admitted that he had monitored various complaints from the public that were widely circulated on social media.
Public roads are vital facilities for community mobility so they must be maintained to remain safe and usable.
Currently, the local government is also drafting a regular evaluation scheme to ensure that all mining companies comply with the rules and use the established operational channels.
"We ask for joint participation to supervise, because this road is the main interest of the community and must remain in good condition," said Arinarsa.
