The Palaran Police, Samarinda conducted an investigation regarding the cause of the landslide incident in one of the coal mining operations areas. The exact location is in Bantakas Village, Palaran District, Samarinda City, East Kalimantan.
"In the afternoon at around 18.00 WITA, we received a report that there was a landslide in the coal mining area, which is located in Bantakas Village, Palaran District," said Palaran Police Chief AKP Tri Satria, in Samarinda, Wednesday, January 25, quoted by Antara.
For the chronology of the incident, an investigation is still being carried out, because the report was received on Tuesday (24/1) afternoon towards evening, the police had difficulty conducting an in-depth investigation at the crime scene (TKP) due to dark terrain conditions.
According to him, the police are still investigating the crime scene whether it is true that there were victims of mining workers in the incident. For now, we are still looking for the chronology of the landslide incident in the mining area.
"We are still checking the identity of the victim to the nearest hospital, namely at IA Moeis Hospital Samarinda, because according to residents' reports, the victim was immediately taken there," said Tri Satria.
He explained that the police will continue their intensive investigation to the TKP on Thursday (26/1) tomorrow morning, because the investigation at night will certainly experience obstacles with very dark conditions.
"The plan is that tomorrow morning we will conduct further investigations into the landslide incident at the mine pit, while the police are still identifying the victims who were taken to the hospital," he also said.
