Indonesia's capital will force drivers to undergo emission tests and consider ordering half of its civil servants to work from home, officials said on Monday, amid deteriorating air quality that has made Jakarta one of the world's most polluted cities.
Jakarta has been consistently ranked among the 10 most polluted cities globally since May and last weekcompiled by Swiss air quality technology company IQAir. On Monday, Jakarta ranked second.
The president himself has been struggling to shake off a cough for nearly four weeks, which one official blamed on the high levels of pollution in Jakarta. The Jakarta city government was also considering ordering half of its civil servants to work from home. "We will start in Jakarta and when it gets better, we will expand it to greater Jakarta," environment minister Siti Nurbaya Bakar told a press conference.
