JAMBI - The Jambi City Government (Pemkot) is implementing sanctions for coal transportation which continue to stubbornly enter city roads.
Jambi Mayor Syarif Fasha said that the imposition of sanctions was given due to the rampant coal transportation entering the city, causing road damage.
"Efforts made to violators of this provision range from detention of vehicles for two weeks to one month, cumulative ticketing, imposition of a maximum fine of Rp. 50 million, imprisonment to imprisonment for a maximum of six months," he said, Thursday, January 26.
As the leader of the regional government, Syarif emphasized that he has full authority to act on behalf of the government and the public to stop coal transportation activities that enter the Jambi City area.
According to him, public safety is above all.
In addition, he continued, with all the authority given and support from the Forkompimda ranks, the city government took action against all forms of violations of coal transportation activities that entered the Jambi City area, except on national roads within the Jambi City area which were intended as coal transportation routes.
The provisions for this prohibition are contained in the Decree of the Mayor of Jambi Number 54 of 2023 concerning the Establishment of an Integrated Team for Controlling Road Transport (coal) traffic.
The team consists of various elements of the legal apparatus and the Jambi City Government, which carry out the task of supervising and enforcing the law through the application of sanctions and fines, as well as imprisonment, based on the Jambi City Regional Regulation Number 4 of 2017 Article 22.
In addition, according to two, many coal transport trucks that do not follow the rules through roads in the Jambi City area, have an impact on the amount of road damage at various points.
Fasha instructed the Jambi City Transportation Service (Dishub) to install portals on a number of roads that are often traversed by coal transportation and large tonnage of goods.
In the near future, portal installations will be installed on roads connecting the western and southern circumferences to city roads.
