Indonesia president found negligent over Jakarta filthy air

An Indonesian court has ruled that President Joko Widodo and other top officials have been negligent in tackling air pollution in Jakarta.

In a landmark decision, the court 출장안마 ordered monitoring stations and other measures to improve the capital's air.

The lawsuit was filed by residents in 2019 출장마사지 and the verdict has since been postponed several times.

Air pollution is reducing Jakarta residents' life expectancy 경기출장안마 by 5.5 years, US researchers say.

Persistent smog in the city of 10 million people is caused by heavy traffic 경기출장마사지 and coal-fired power plants that have not been fitted with filters.

The district 경기도출장안마 court has instructed Mr Widodo to improve the national standard of air quality, adding that the provincial government must conduct checks such as periodical emission tests for older vehicles in Jakarta and outdoor air quality tests.

This information must be made 경기도출장마사지 public, the court said.

Frustrated residents worried about the impact on 경기출장안마 health launched the legal action against President Widodo, the environment ministry, Jakarta's governor and others.

One of the plaintiffs, researcher Khalisah Khalid, said she had 경기출장마사지 participated because her 10-year-old son suffered frequent nosebleeds as well as allergies.

"This is the background. I want my child to 경기출장 be able to live a healthier life, get clean and healthy air," she told BBC Indonesian.

"I'm sure all parents, all mothers, want their https://www.loremmsg.com/ children to be able to grow and develop... in a clean and healthy environment."

Jakarta's particulate pollution levels are six times the 경기도출장 World Health Organization's guideline level, according to the University of Chicago's Air Quality Life Index.

It does change the power 경기도출장마사지 equilibrium in the region," Ms Sun told the BBC.

In response to the deal, China's embassy https://www.signatureanma.com/ in Washington said the governments involved "should shake off their Cold-War mentality and ideological prejudice".
