JAKARTA (The Jakarta Post/Asia News Network): The three task forces formed by the relevant authorities to curb air pollution in Jakarta have made little progress in improving the city’s air quality despite their various efforts over the past few weeks.
The Environment and Forestry Ministry established the first task force on Aug 18, assigned to identify pollutant sources in Greater Jakarta and enforce laws on industries and individuals found guilty of failing to control their emissions.
