Serang Regency Government Forms Mining Task Force, Targets Unlicensed Mining

Monitoring results are reported to the Banten Provincial Government

Zaldi explained that the task of the district task force focuses on monitoring and collecting data. According to him, the authority for licensing and follow-up on mine closures without permits lies with the Banten Provincial Government.

The task force's findings will be reported to the Banten Provincial Government through the Energy and Mineral Resources Service (ESDM) for follow-up according to authority.

"Because for mines that are no longer licensed, the authority to close them lies with the Banten Provincial Government," he said.

When giving his statement, Zaldi said that the composition of the task force had been formed and was still waiting for approval through the regent's signature. Field supervision is planned to begin immediately, with Pabuaran as one of the initial locations.

The division of teams by region is expected to speed up inspection and data collection regarding mining activities in Serang Regency.

"Yes, divided into teams. So that later we can immediately work simultaneously and we can immediately get fast data, especially related to illegal mining," said Zaldi. CMS Tags: Serang Regency, Mining Task Force, Illegal Mining, Banten Provincial Government, Zaldi Dhuhana, Ratu Rachmatuzakiyah
