Medan, March 12, 2024, _ PT Prima Pengembangan Kawasan (PT PPK), a subsidiary of PT Pelindo Solusi Logistik (SPSL) under PT Pelindo (Persero) (Pelindo Group), has successfully executed the acquisition of 9 land parcels in Kuala Tanjung Village, Sei Suka District, Batu Bara Regency, North Sumatra Province. This execution is part of the land acquisition process for the public interest, namely the Kuala Tanjung Industrial Area, which is one of the National Strategic Projects.
On March 6 and 7, 2024, under the order of the Chief Judge of Kisaran District Court, the Clerk and the Court Bailiff of Kisaran District Court executed 6 land parcels that had been consigned/deposited in Kisaran District Court. The activity was assisted in security by the Batu Bara Police Resort as field security and attended by representatives of PT PPK, PT Pelindo (Persero), the Kuala Tanjung Village Government, and the Community Police Officer (Babinkamtibmas). This execution is a continuation of the execution that took place in mid-December 2023, where out of a total of 9 planned land parcels to be executed, only 3 parcels were successfully executed. The other 6 parcels could not be executed due to resistance from the residents and ownership disputes in Kisaran District Court.
The Chief Executive Officer of PT Prima Pengembangan Kawasan, Akhirman, stated, “The execution yesterday is one of the blessings of the holy month of Ramadan 1445 H. This is marked by the smooth execution process where the residents could understand and accept that their land and houses were executed for the national interest.”
Akhirman also added, “I express my utmost gratitude to all parties involved in the execution process such as the Chief Judge of Kisaran District Court and his staff, the Chief of Batu Bara Police and his staff, the Kuala Tanjung Village Government, the Community Police Officer, and especially to all employees of PT PPK who have worked hard by prioritizing peaceful methods and approaching the Execution Petitioners so that the execution process can proceed smoothly and peacefully.”
The next program is the certification and licensing process for the establishment of the Kuala Tanjung Industrial Area (KIKT). KIKT is one of the National Strategic Projects (PSN) designated by the Government based on Presidential Regulation (Perpres) Number 81 of 2018 concerning the Acceleration of Development and Operation of Ports and KIKT in North Sumatra Province.
“In 2024, PT PPK will focus on basic infrastructure development activities and will invite potential investors both domestically and internationally. It is hoped that the Kuala Tanjung Industrial Area, which has the advantage of being located near Kuala Tanjung Port and hinterlands in the surrounding areas of KIKT, can attract major investors to establish their industries in KIKT, thus impacting the increase in the economy of the community and Batu Bara Regency,” Akhirman continued.
