Head of BNN RI Komjen Pol Petrus Reinhard Golose told reporters, said his team continues to coordinate with all parties to find marijuana fields throughout Indonesia. Especially in North Aceh, marijuana fields are often found in Sawang Subdistrict.

"BNN RI is currently collaborating and coordinating with the National Aviation and Space Agency (Lapan) and the Geospatial Information Agency (BIG) to find and secure the coordinate points of cannabis fields," said Police Commander Petrus Reinhard Golose.

Golose also asked North Aceh Regent Muhammad Thaib to empower the community on the outskirts of the forest. For example with other plant programs, so that marijuana is ignored by the community. Because they can grow other plants that make rupiah.

Komjen Petrus also hopes that BNN Aceh Province and Lhokseumawe City BBN empower the former cannabis fields for the Grand Design Alternatif Development (GDAD) program.

"Plant the land with other productive crops that benefit the community. To the regional head, we hope to help the local BNN run the GDAD program," concluded Komjen Petrus.
