TEMPO Interactive, Purwokerto: The activity of mining at rivers and mountains in Banyumas is of concern. Environmental activists said the mining can destroy environmental preservation. “Especially along the river in Banyumas,” said Fugging Septisianto, coordinator of a community organization, Caring Community, Slamet (Komplet), yesterday.
Meanwhile, Head of the Entrepreneurs’ Stone Association, Aswin Sudarsono, denied it. “We all have permission for this activity,” he said. He mentioned 29 stone entrepreneurs registered in Banyumas. In one day, they can generate 50-100 cubic meters of stone.
Regional secretary of the Banyumas Government, Muhammad Santoso, said that the government is very selective in giving mining permission. “If the circumstances do not meet our requirements, we will not give it,” he said.
