“Earlier I asked for a discussion with the Minister of Environment and Forestry, he said if the roads were watered it would make it easier to reduce PM 2.5,” said Heru.
Heru said that the regional government (Pemda) and the Minister of Environment and Forestry (LHK) Siti Nurbaya were still observing and evaluating the results.
“I’m waiting for the results and the Minister’s opinion. If it’s positive, we’ll continue. If there’s a negative, we’ll stop it,” said Heru. (T/RE1/P2)
