Indonesia tightens law on Sumatran forest fires

After haze occurred in January and February.

Indonesian government intensifies law enforcement tackling Sumatran forest fires as hotspots in forests occurred a little too early on Sumatra and Kalimantan islands this year.

According to National Disaster Mitigation Agency (BNPB) spokesman Sutopo, haze usually occurs in May or June, but haze happening in January and February was a real cause for alarm.

 

The Terra and Aqua Satellite detected 704 hotspots in Sumatra last Feb 15, which was nearly a whopping 100% increase from 357 just the previous day.
