JAKARTA, Sep 3, 2019, ANTARA. A Strategic Environmental Study (KLHS) of the new capital city in East Kalimantan is expected to be completed in November 2019, Environmental Affairs and Forestry Minister Siti Nurbaya Bakar has said, reported the ANTARA.
“It won’t take too long. It will be two months at the latest, most likely in November,” the minister said here Wednesday. The KLHS is in line with the Government Regulation No 46/2016 regarding KLHS for major projects.
