Jakarta: PT Kereta Cepat Indonesia-China (KCIC) has started to investigate an oil pipeline fire near the construction site of the Jakarta-Bandung high-speed rail project in the West Java city of Cimahi.
PT KCIC is a consortium that will operate the high-speed railway.
"Our team is investigating whether the cause of the fire is related to the project or not," PT KCIC official Denny Yusdiana said here on Tuesday, October 22, 2019.
