Severe Haze Hits Palangka Raya – Open Burning Continues Uncontrolled in Central Kalimantan
Footage from Central Kalimantan shows heavy yellow-orange haze blocking out the sun as open burning continues unchecked.
Thick Smoke Blankets Residential Neighbourhood As Visibility Drops
A viral video recorded on 14 October 2026 in Palangka Raya, Central Kalimantan, captures the alarming reality of severe transboundary haze. The footage shows a residential housing neighbourhood engulfed in a dense, yellow-orange smoke typical of severe peatland or forest fires.
An unseen individual filming from a doorway expresses deep distress as the heavy smoke obscures the front block entirely. Outside on the patio, a small child in an undershirt can be seen wandering while the thick haze completely blots out the sun.
Urgent Health And Environmental Concerns Raised Across The Region
The footage highlights the dangerous consequences of open burning left without control. With visibility severely reduced and the air choked with heavy smoke, the situation poses extreme health hazards to residents living in the affected areas.
Regional forest fires and the resulting transboundary haze remain a critical environmental issue that directly impacts neighbouring countries like Malaysia, bringing renewed urgency to the ongoing struggle against unchecked land clearing.
