KLANG (Bernama): The Selangor government will confiscate land in the state where farmers persist with open burning, says Mentri Besar Amirudin Shari.

He said such stern action was required as farmers, especially in the Johan Setia area here, were still carrying out open burning despite the being issued orders from the state government to stop the practice.
