BALI – Acting Bali Governor S.M. Mahendra Jaya has declared a state of emergency on the resort island for the next two weeks following a prolonged drought and an uptick in land and forest fires.
The directive was issued on Thursday in a governor’s circular and impacts all regencies and cities across the province, including Denpasar, Badung, Bangli, Buleleng, Gianyar, Jembrana, Karangasem, Klungkung and Tabanan. The policy will be enforced until Nov 1 and can be extended or shortened as needed.
