PEKANBARU: Widespread haze in several areas in Riau has
disrupted people's daily activities and forced some schools to
cancel classes.

In Duri, Mandau district, haze has covered the city for the
last three days, forcing schools to send students home.

Head of the education office in Mandau, Zainuddin, said on
Thursday the decision was taken because the air quality monitor
indicated the air was hazardous to health. -- JP
