JAKARTA - The Religious Harmony Forum (FKUB) in Tulungagung, East Java confirmed that the construction of three houses of worship there could not be continued due to environmental permits.

"Because the permit requirements are not yet complete, the construction of these three houses of worship cannot continue," said the head of the Tulungagung Regency Religious Harmony Forum (FKUB), Effendi Aris in Tulungagung, Wednesday, August 24, quoted from Antara.

The three houses of worship that are hampered by construction are two churches and one mosque.

"The construction of these two churches and one mosque has not met the requirements as stated in the Joint Decree (SKB) of the three ministers," he said.

The requirements are related to the number of worshipers, to the approval of residents around the house of worship to be built.

"The administrative requirement is that the number of users is at least 90 people, so it is really feasible and needed by the community," he explained.

In addition, the construction of houses of worship must also be approved by at least 60 people around the location. Approval also does not have to be by people of the same religion.

This approval is intended so that the house of worship is open, so that its activities are known by the public. So that it does not cause anxiety in the community.

Effendi explained that there are two churches located in Batangsaren Village, Kauman District and Moyoketen Village, Boyolangu District, as well as one mosque in Rejoagung Village, Kedungwaru District, which is not recommended to continue construction.

"Until now we have not given any recommendations," he said.
