JAKARTA - Minister of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning/Head of the National Land Agency (ATR/BPN) Nusron Wahid ensured that the victims of floods and landslides in Sumatra would not be charged if they wanted to re-manage the lost or damaged land certificate documents.

"We announce to people affected by the flood disaster, if you want to process land documents again, we make sure you don't charge it," Nusron said at a press conference in Jakarta, Antara, Wednesday, December 10.

The entire process of re-issuing certificates for disaster victims will not cost any new fees or fees.

Nusron explained, based on temporary data from BNPB and the Ministry of Home Affairs, around 65 thousand hectares of rice fields are flooded with mud and have the potential to become destroyed land. This condition can affect land boundaries and land ownership in the field.

However, he ensured that the state was present to protect the rights of land owners. Land digital data through the Kadastral map makes it easier to identify land owners even though the physical condition of the location has changed.

"We want to make sure the country is present and the land is the owner will remain safe. The data in us remains intact, so it will be caught with a map of the digital Kadastral," said Nusron.

He added, if there is a post-disaster land claim, ATR/BPN officers will check the ownership data so that the original owner can be ascertained.

"If the certificate is lost, you want to take care of it again, it is certain that it will not be charged," he said.

In addition, Nusron emphasized that his ministry is ready to protect land in Aceh, North Sumatra, and West Sumatra from potential disputes or land mafia efforts in post-disaster situations.
