BANJARMASIN, South Kalimantan: Thick haze again blanketed the
South Kalimantan capital of Banjarmasin on Thursday morning but
gradually lifted in the afternoon.

Despite the pollution, many motorists in the city were not
wearing masks to protect their lungs and eyes.

The smog is believed to come from illegal land clearing
operations in the Barito Kuala and Pulang Pisau regencies in
Central Kalimantan. -- Antara
