JAKARTA - Minister of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning/Head of the National Land Agency (ATR/BPN) Nusron Wahid and his staff are ready to protect land in three provinces (Aceh, North Sumatra and West Sumatra) after the Sumatra disaster from the threat of land mafia.
"I received information earlier that there were 65 thousand hectares of rice fields affected by mud. This means that there is the potential for rice fields to be destroyed. If the rice fields are destroyed, then there will definitely be land mafia people who claim and the boundaries of the land are also lost," said Nusron as reported by ANTARA, Monday, December 8.

He said that if the rice fields that turned into destroyed land had been certified, it would be ensured safe, because there was still a boundary boundary for the land in the spatial data of the Ministry of ATR/BPN.
"If they happen to have been certified safe. Because there are still limits to our spatial data. But those that have not been registered are a bit difficult," said Nusron.
