JAKARTA - West Java Governor Dedi Mulyadi closed mining on the mountain slopes of the Bandung Regency, Garut to Sumedang area starting today. This step is to prevent disasters due to land conversion.

This was conveyed by Dedi Mulyadi after a meeting with the Directorate of Coordination and Supervision (Korsup) of the KPK at the KPK's Merah Putih building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Thursday, December 11.

"Today we will also close mining on the slopes of the mountain. All mining on the slopes of the mountain that has environmental risks Like in Bandung Regency, in Garut, in Sumedang Kita will be closed, permanent," Dedi told reporters.

"Why? Because the risk of disaster is higher than the mining it gets," he continued.

Dedi explained that his party would have cooperated with the police to thoroughly investigate the transfer of its main unlicensed land function.

Meanwhile, KPK Korsup Director Bahtiar Ujang Purnama said he was ready to support the West Java Provincial Government to anticipate disasters.

"And then he conveyed the potential to strengthen environmental resilience, we are ready to exist, namely by utilizing various kinds of sleeping land and assets owned by colleagues from across sectors, PTPN and some from PU," he said.

"Where there are several assets that will be re-functioned, revitalization steps will be taken for environmental resilience," he added.
