Gov't assigns ministers to handle regional forest fires

The Indonesian government has assigned minister-level officials to oversee regional responses to ongoing forest and land fires in Kalimantan and Sumatra. State Secretary Prasetyo Hadi announced that responsibilities are divided among specific regions, including West Kalimantan and Central Kalimantan, with officials such as coordinating ministers and the Chief of Staff of the Indonesian Army involved. The government emphasized that this division of labor is meant to expedite fire response efforts rather than assign exclusive responsibility to individual regions. Current efforts focus on six high-risk provinces: Riau, Jambi, South Sumatra, West Kalimantan, Central Kalimanta, and South Kalimantan. While no dedicated task force is planned, cross-sector coordination is deemed sufficient, and additional resources like water-bombing helicopters and PPE are already being deployed. President Prabowo Subianto recently coordinated with cabinet ministers to enhance firefighting capabilities.
