Forest and land-fire smoke disrupts daily life in Palangka Raya

Smoke from forest and land fires has covered Palangka Raya for nearly three months.

Residents say it is disrupting school, work and local businesses, and can cause headaches.

Some people are staying indoors and wearing masks to limit their exposure.

The smoke also makes it harder to deliver supplies, as the city’s airport has reportedly been closed for about two weeks.
