Moreover, the President will also monitor the remaining hotspots and is scheduled to visit Suku Anak Dalam in Jambi, Pramono said to the journalists at the official residence of OKIs Regent, South Sumatera, on Thursday (29/10).
Pramono Anung stated that these are the programs that have been prepared. After that, if possible, whether on Friday (30/10) afternoon or Saturday (31/10) morning, the President will fly to Palangkaraya (Central Kalimantan), because, Pramono Anung added, Jambi and Palangkaraya are two regions that have been scheduled many times to be visited but still not possible.
Hopefully the weather is good so that the President can enter Jambi and Palangkaraya, Pramono said.
The President is scheduled to use helicopter to visit Jambi because the Presidential Plane will not be able to land.

Pandjaitan, supported by Coordinating Minister for the Economy Darmin Nasution and Coordinating Minister for Human Development and Culture Puan Maharani to carry out daily tasks..
It works well because when the President was in the US, everyday Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal, and Security Affairs was in the field to confirm a number of spots that will make the peat wet. We will check several areas that has been prepared and visited by the Minister, Pramono said.
If the effort is succeed (to make the peat land wet), Pramono added, it will be a long term role model to handle peat problems. Thus, in the future, when an area is burned we already know how to handle it.
