  "summary": "The West Kalimantan Provincial Government in Indonesia has extended the haze emergency response status through September 20, 2026, following the ongoing forest and land fires (karhutla) in the region. Deputy Governor Krisantus Kurniawan announced the extension on Thursday, stating that handling and cooling-down operations are still underway to control the fires in several areas. The West Kalimantan government has also allocated funds from the Unexpected Expenditure (BTT) budget to support relief efforts, including personnel mobilization, logistics provision, clean water needs, and healthcare services for affected communities. In Kubu Raya Regency, the disaster emergency response status has been extended based on forecasts predicting continued drought until mid-October 2026.",
