Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto has called on plantation and forestry companies to strictly enforce fire prevention measures. His warning comes as wildfires and thick smoke continue to affect parts of the country.
The President said companies must follow safety rules to stop fires from spreading. He stressed that failure to comply will not be tolerated.
Wildfires are often started to clear land for farming and planting. These fires can spread quickly, causing haze that harms health and disrupts daily life.
Prabowo's message puts pressure on businesses to act responsibly and protect the environment.
