Law against urban
air pollution

From Koran Tempo

Air pollution in Jakarta has gone beyond acceptable limits
and unless promptly dealt with, it could get worse in the future.

The government does not seem to be concerned about the
situation and apparently is content to let it deteriorate without
any solution in sight. Some official comments have been made but
no action has been taken.

What is now needed is legislation to safeguard the urban
environment against pollution. Officials cannot be expected to
work without strict rules being in place.

Other measures that could reduce air pollution include a major
cut in the number of motor vehicles by any possible means and
road widening in all congested parts of the capital.
