Deputy Chairman of Commission VII DPR RI Eddy Soeparno urged the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) to form the Directorate General of Law Enforcement (Ditjen Gakkum) to eradicate illegal mines in Indonesia.

In our opinion, illegal mining or illegal mining problems do not only occur in Klaten, related to illegal sand. But also many other places, in Kalimantan illegal mining for coal, there are illegal mining for nickel and others," said Eddy, quoted Monday, December 5.

Eddy added that this illegal mining problem must be dealt with legally and carried out indiscriminately.

"This illegal mining problem cannot be handled properly, handled properly, if there is no consistent law enforcement, strict law enforcement and does not look down on hair," continued Eddy.

Responding to this, Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Arifin Tasrif said he would propose the establishment of the Directorate General of Law and Human Rights to handle illegal mines that are increasingly rampant.

Later, this agency will be tasked with supervising criminal acts and is expected to start working in the first quarter of 2023.

"Currently it has been processed and we hope that next year's Quarter I will be able to run, this is now a process," he told the media, quoted Monday, December 5.

Regarding illegal mining in Central Java, Arifin said, his party had dispatched a mining inspector to identify problems in the field.

"There is a team there for the mining inspector and strengthened the region," concluded Arifin.

Previously, the Mayor of Solo, Gibran Rakabuming, mentioned the rise of illegal mining activities for class C excavations in Klaten, Central Java.

Not only rampant, according to him, this illegal mine is also subject to a terrible figure.
