The same thing was also conveyed by a member of Commission IV DPR from the NasDem faction, Rajiv.The meeting is planned to be held at 14.00 WIB.
“Yes, the Minister of Forestry is here today,” said Rajiv.
Alex previously said that his party would ask the Minister of Forestry for information regarding the phenomenon of thousands of logs being swept away in the severe flood disaster in North Sumatra, West Sumatra and Aceh.
He understands that public suspicion regarding the whereabouts of thousands of pieces of wood that had been cut was one of the causes of the flood.He also agreed that there was something upstream in the major flood tragedy in Sumatra and Aceh.
“But from the material that was carried away, our logic also says that this is not just an abundance of water, but there is something upstream, on the hillside that is happening,” he said.
According to him, this case must be evaluated, because it is not impossible that a similar disaster will occur again in the future.
“Therefore, we really need a new forestry policy, which is up to date, so that disasters like this don’t happen again,” said Alex.
Previously, a video uploaded by the Instagram account @antaranewscom showed piles of wood filling the estuary and lip of Parkit Beach on Friday (28/11) after floods submerged several areas in West Sumatra.
As a result, the beach water appears brownish in color.Apart from piles of wood, various rubbish was also seen piled up at the location.
“On Friday (28/11), the estuary area and lip of Parakeet Beach were covered with thousands of pieces of wood and other drifting rubbish. This condition disrupted fishermen’s access and changed the appearance of the beach significantly,” said the statement in the upload.
