Haze again envelopes pakanbaru on Friday


Pekanbaru, Riau, Aug 15 (ANTARA) - Haze from plantation and forest fires, again enveloped Pekanbaru, Riau Province, after two days of clear sky.


The haze reduced visibility for motorists so much that they had to turn on their head lights and decrease their speed.


"It's very annoying. We have to be extra careful because of the haze which has come back," Dian (23), a motorist, said.


The US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)'s satellite had detected 28 hot spots in plantation and forest areas in Riau, including nine in Rokan Hilir, one in Bengkalis, five in Rokan Hulu, three in Siak, four in Sengingi and five in Indragiri Hulu.(Antara)
