JOHOR BAHRU, Oct 8 -- Johor State Environment Department Director Dr Mohd Famey Yusoff when met by Bernama during an interview session at Wisma Alam Sekitar Johor Bahru today. BERNAMAPIX: The Johor Department of Environment is actively patrolling across areas with the potential for open burning due to the haze affecting several districts in the state.
“This is because fires that occur in peatlands are difficult to extinguish and take a considerable amount of time to put out. Moreover, they release a large amount of smoke. Therefore, our patrols are primarily focused on areas like these,” he said when met here today. He said most of these cases occurred in residential areas, where residents conducted small-scale burnings. As a result, immediate warning notices were issued to those involved to prevent such incidents from recurring.
