SAMPANG - The Task Force (Satgas) of the Free Nutritious Meal (MBG) program in Sampang Regency, East Java, is now starting to deploy teams to investigate reports from residents about the practice of dumping MBG kitchen waste into residents' farmland in the area.
Secretary of the MBG Task Force, Sampang Sudarmanto, explained that based on the report received, the MBG kitchen waste that was dumped into agricultural land and reaped the protests of the residents occurred in Tambelangan District.
"Therefore, today we deployed a team, checking the location reported by the residents," he said as quoted by ANTARA, Monday, April 13.
According to Sudarmanto, the act of dumping waste into agricultural land is a violation of the standard operating procedure (SOP) that has been set by the government.
The manager of the MBG kitchen or SPPG (Nutrition Fulfillment Service Unit), should dispose of waste in a special disposal site and not dispose of it carelessly, so as not to pollute the environment.
"All governance must comply with SOP, and it must be obeyed by the SPPG," said Sudarmanto, stressing.
Previously, protests related to the disposal of waste from the MBG kitchen in Tambelangan District, Sampang spread on a number of social media platforms.
The waste from the MBG kitchen produces a very pungent smell. In fact, according to regulations, all kitchen owners are required to have adequate waste water treatment (IPAL) installations so that the waste produced does not pollute the environment.
MBG kitchen waste that pollutes the environment and agricultural land is in the form of solid and liquid waste.
