Haze Alert: Public Warned Against Open Burning - N. Sembilan Exco
SEREMBAN, July 19 (Bernama) -- The people of Negeri Sembilan have been urged to refrain from open burning, which could further deteriorate air quality and affect public health.
State Entrepreneurship, Human Resources, Climate Change, Cooperatives and Consumers Action Committee chairman S. Veerapan said that although the Air Pollutant Index (API) reading in the state remains at a moderate level, the Department of Environment (DOE) will intensify patrols to curb open burning.
He added that the risk of open fires is particularly high in plantations and bush areas that are easily flammable during dry weather conditions.
