In addition, they check the development of land acquisition for the construction of Pulau Laut Strait Bridge that will connect the island with the mainland of Kalimantan.

“We need to check the Kinarum Dam in Tabalong, the construction of which has been halted because the contractor has been away,” said the commission member H Hormansyah SAg, SH before leaving for Tanjung (the district capital about 236 kilometers north of Banjarmasin).

People’s representatives from the electoral districts of South Kalimantan V, namely Northern Hulu Sungai (HSU), Balangan and Tabalong, hopes that the construction of the Kinarum will be completed and function for irrigation of rice fields.

“We hope the road between Tanjung Sedang – Lontar Pulau Laut will be maintained so as not to disturb the smoothness of traffic, especially at the atmosphere of Lebaran transportation later,” said the representative of the council of South Kalimantan VII/ Banjarbaru and Tanah Laut.
