JAKARTA - The problem regarding land acquisition of 2,086 hectares (ha) in the capital city of Nusantara (IKN) has come to light. The plan is that the settlement of the land problem will be carried out through the Social Management of Community Impact (PSDK) Plus scheme.

Later, the Provincial Government (Pemprov) of East Kalimantan (Kaltim) will conduct a PSDK Plus socialization on 27 June.

Related to this, Acting Head of the IKN Authority, Basuki Hadimuljono, admitted that he continued to communicate with the Acting Governor of East Kalimantan (Kaltim) Akmal Malik, to socialize the scheme to the public.

"Yes, we are faster and better. Keep calling with the Governor (Kaltim)," said Basuki when met at his office, Friday, June 21.

Basuki assessed that communication will continue because on June 27, the East Kalimantan Provincial Government is scheduled to socialize the PSDK Plus.

Furthermore, said Basuki, the Ministry of PUPR will build a total of 91 residences for 91 family cards that have been recorded as affected by IKN. The types of buildings can be in the form of flats or landed houses, aka landed houses.

According to Basuki, one of the locations of 2,086 hectares of land that is still problematic is located on Section 6A Riko- Outer Ring Road IKN Toll Road and Section 6B Toll Section Plan Outer Ring Road-Sp. 3 ITCI near the entrance to IKN VVIP Airport.

While the other location is the road access area to the State Mosque IKN and the land where the flood area is controlled by the Sepaku Dam - Semoi.
