        "content": "<p>The Special Crimes Directorate (Dittipidter) of Bareskrim Polri has\ntemporarily halted all operations at PT Wijaya Inti Nusantara (WIN) in\nTorobulu Village, Laeya District, South Konawe Regency, Southeast\nSulawesi, on Saturday (30 May).<\/p>\n<p>The decision, made by a team led by Bareskrim Special Crimes Director\nBrigadier General Moh. Irhamni, follows public reports expressing\nconcern over social impacts and resident safety due to the company\u2019s\nactivities near residential areas.<\/p>\n<p>Brigadier General Irhamni stressed that permits do not automatically\nlegitimise activities threatening public safety, imposing strict\nconditions for future operations: \u201cIf nickel reserves are found and the\ncompany wishes to proceed, residents must first be relocated. If no\nnickel reserves are found, the status quo will remain indefinitely.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bareskrim Polri and the South Konawe Regency government have agreed\nthat no heavy machinery or activities are permitted at the designated\nsite from today.<\/p>\n<p>Conversely, PT WIN\u2019s General Manager Nuriman stated the operations\nare not nickel mining but construction of community facilities. He\nclarified the materials processed\u2014cement soil, crushed stone, and\nclay\u2014do not contain nickel. \u2018Since this was never a mining operation and\nthe intent was purely to assist residents, we do not object to the\nstatus quo and respect the authorities\u2019 decision,\u2019 he added.<\/p>",
