JAKARTA - Attorney General ST Burhanuddin emphasized that the state found indications that a number of corporate and individual entities contributed to the occurrence of natural disasters in Aceh, North Sumatra, and West Sumatra last November.
This was conveyed by Burhanuddin in front of President Prabowo Subianto when giving an open report at the Attorney General's Office Building, Jakarta, Wednesday, December 24.
The government through the Forest and Mining Area Control Task Force (Satgas PKH) has found indications of a number of corporate and individual entities that contribute to the occurrence of floods and landslides in Aceh, North Sumatra, and West Sumatra.
Following up on the findings, the Task Force has also requested information from 27 companies spread across the three provinces.
According to Burhanuddin, the results of the PKH Task Force study and the analysis of the ITB Interdisciplinary Research Center also found a strong correlation that flash floods in Sumatra are not only natural phenomena, but are also triggered by massive land use changes in the upstream of the river basin. This is then exacerbated by high rainfall.
