– Approximately 16 hectares of land in Karangjong Village, Ngawen District, Blora, promised to be returned to 31 families (KK) with the issuance of certificates of ownership.
This policy is due to the fact that in 1994 the people's land was exchanged for land owned by Perhutani in Wonorejo, Cepu District.
Village Head (Kades) Karangjong Sugiyono explained that he was quite relieved after hearing an explanation from the Ministry of ATR/BPN. This is because around 16 hectares of land owned by 31 families will be returned, and the legality of ownership certificates will be obtained.
"With the visit of the Minister, I hope to be able to return the land owned by 31 people," he said.
Sugiyono explained that the chronology of the land acquisition in 1994, when one of the Blora businessmen came to take over the land had been worked on by residents for years.

“About five months ago I went to BPN. I tried to apply for my certificate, it was rejected, for that reason SPPT is not proprietary. But this is complete, both SPPT, village C, village maps, complete names of people in village administration," he said.
The Coordinator of the Advocacy Team for the Wonorejo Region, Cepu Lukito, explained that the land acquisition case in Karangjong Village was the object of land swaps in Wonorejo. According to him it was the result of the actions of the government regime at that time.
“Those who completely ignore and ignore the community are up to 31 families. And 21 years can not produce, “he said.
Lukito explained, the land was handed over by the district government at that time to Perhutani.
Hear the commitment from the Minister of ATR/BPN. Land that is currently managed by Perhutani will be removed from state forest status.
"It was raised to a certificate of ownership because it has a different history from Wonorejo," he concluded. (Setyorini/ IST )
