As happened some time ago, Sukabumi Police arrested a number of illegal gold miners on land owned by Perum Perhutani, Cibuluh Block, Ciemas Village / District, Sukabumi Regency,” said Perum Perhutani KPH Sukabumi Administrator Asep Setiawan in Sukabumi, Friday (9/6).

Of course, in obtaining licenses, mining entrepreneurs will not be complicated by related agencies as long as the requirements are complete. In addition, another advantage is that they will get various briefings and so on.
Then, in carrying out mining activities, they will be calm and not worry about being raided or arrested by security forces, because they already have a permit. Not only licensing issues, mining entrepreneurs must also pay attention to natural conditions so that they are not damaged, such as reforestation and others.
His party also appreciates law enforcement officials who have been strict with illegal miners, from arrests to closing illegal mining sites. Because the impact of their activities all parties are harmed.
