The Provincial National Narcotics Agency (BNNP) of Central Kalimantan (Kalteng) has highlighted drug trafficking, which has now penetrated the plantation and mining company area in Central Kalimantan.

The Head of Eradication of BNNP Central Kalimantan, Kombes Pol Agustiyanto, said that his party was intensifying prevention by tightening the entry of drugs at interprovincial borders.

"The border route must continue to be tightened, because all the illicit goods are imported by land that connects Central Kalimantan and other provinces," he said in Palangka Raya, Central Kalimantan, Tuesday, June 27, which was confiscated by Antara.

Agustiyanto also explained that so far the Central Kalimantan BNNP has not only made disclosures but also intensively educated the public and socialized prevention, eradication, abuse and circulation (P4GN).

Because so far, dealers and drug dealers of any type have seen Central Kalimantan, which has twice the area of Java, being their easy target.

"That's why in eradicating drug trafficking in Central Kalimantan it cannot only the police and local BNNP play a role, things also need a role from the community so that this issue can really be handled properly," he explained.

The police officer with the rank of three jasmine officers also invited the entire community not to hesitate to provide information to BNNP and the police in the local area.

Because with the slightest information, BNNP and Police personnel will conduct an investigation into the information.

"No matter how small the information related to drugs from the public, it is always responded to and immediately investigated because these drugs are very dangerous for our society," said Agustiyanto.

His party will also continue to collaborate with the Director of Drug Investigation at the Central Kalimantan Police in eradicating drug trafficking in the local province.

"With collaboration, of course, drug trafficking in Central Kalimantan can be suppressed every year," said Agustiyanto.
