Meanwhile, in the district\/city category, only Bengkalis considered as comply while Dumai, Rokan Hilir, Indragiri Hilir, and Meranti Islands fell into lack comply, and Siak was categorized as mild-comply.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe fact that all 17 companies being audited, all of them were operating in peatlands. This is fatal [mistake] because peatlands are not supposed to be turned into concessions,\u201d said Saharjo adding that it also proved local governments of Riau did not protect its peatlands. <\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, he said that companies given concessions permits did not have proper equipments and resources to tackle forest fires. \u201cThis is a serious situation because companies which do not have sufficient fire fighters facilities and resources should not be given permits,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n<p>The team, he continued also found that local governments did not monitor on those companies. \u201cWe discovered that several of the companies have never been inspected by local government, forestry agency, plantation agency, or even forestry agency,\u201d he added. <\/p>\n<p>Himsar Sirait, Deputy for Legal Compliance at the Ministry of Environment, said that the audit had revealed that the culprits were local governments and companies. \u201cFrom these findings, it is no surprise that Riau must deal with land and forest fires every year. The main culprit is clear, it\u2019s local governments and companies,\u201d said Sirait adding that the ministry was investigating six companies,&#8211; PT SPM, PT SRL, PT JJP, PT RUJ, PT BNS, and PT NSP&#8211;. <\/p>\n<p>The team had also recommended few steps to tackle land and forest fires in Riau, which covered policies on burned areas, permits for peatlands, monitoring and evaluation, also capacity building for local government.
