What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

West Java Governor Dedi Mulyadi halted a planned 640-megawatt complex near Jatiluhur Dam in Purwakarta. The project, which was slated to draw 6,000 cubic meters of water daily, was stopped due to concerns over the lack of a comprehensive environmental impact assessment. This action occurred amid anxiety over clean water caused by the El Nino-induced drought.
