IPOH: The three limestone hills near Simpang Pulai where quarrying is being carried out have been gazetted under the mineral and rock industry economy zone, says Datuk Saarani Mohamad.
The Perak Mentri Besar said the hills -- Gunung Lanno, Gunung Terundum and Gunung Rapat -- have been gazetted under the Batu Gajah District Council’s Local Plan 2025.
Saarani said the majority of the caves located in the three hills are on the property of the quarry operators.
“The three limestone hills are not listed as part of the Kinta Valley Geopark. All 18 geopark sites are also not part of the economy zone, ” he said in a statement.
