JAKARTA - The Central Lombok Police together with a joint team carried out a crackdown on illegal gold mine excavations located in Gunung Dundang, Kuta Village, Pujut District or near the Mandalika area, West Nusa Tenggara (NTB).

"The crackdown was carried out as a form of mutual commitment in maintaining environmental sustainability, preventing natural damage, and minimizing the potential for disasters that can be caused by illegal mining activities," said Central Lombok Police Chief AKBP Eko Yusmiarto in Central Lombok, Friday, January 9.

In addition, this activity also aims to provide education to the public so that they do not carry out mining activities without permission.

This regulation is a firm step in enforcing rules and protecting the environment from damage.

"This activity is a form of our seriousness together with all related elements in maintaining the sustainability of nature in the Central Lombok area. Illegal mining activities not only violate the law, but also have the potential to cause environmental damage and endanger the safety of the community," he said.

Therefore, said the Police Chief, we appeal to the entire community not to mine and also to protect the Dundang Mountain area as a common natural asset.

The Police Chief emphasized that his party would continue to increase security and patrols in the area, and would not hesitate to take firm action if similar activities were found later.

The joint team also conducted a direct check to the mining site and filled in the holes of the former mining site and ensured that there was no more illegal mining activity taking place.
