3 more companies issued notices under Transboundary Haze Pollution Act

Singapore's National Environment Agency (NEA) has issued Preventive Measure Notices (PMNs) to three more companies in Indonesia under the Transboundary Haze Pollution Act, said Minister for Sustainability and the Environment Grace Fu on Monday (Oct 19). This brings the number of companies issued PMNs to 10. Speaking on the sidelines of a visit to the Woodlands Checkpoint, she said the seven companies that were issued similar legal notices earlier have yet to respond. Under the notices, the companies will be required to extinguish fires or prevent them from spreading on land they own or occupy. They must also submit action plans to NEA detailing measures to put the fires out and to prevent them from recurring. #singapore #sgnews #haze Subscribe to our channel here: https://cna.asia/youtubesub Visit our website: https://cna.asia Download our app: https://cna.asia/app Get our editors' picks of stories via chat apps: Telegram: https://cna.asia/telegram WhatsApp: https://cna.asia/whatsapp Follow us on these platforms: https://www.facebook.com/channelnewsasia https://www.instagram.com/channelnewsasia https://www.tiktok.com/@channelnewsasia
