Pupils at Palembang State Secondary School No. 15 Sent Home Amid Thick Haze

The school held regular teaching activities even though today's standard air contaminants are reported at 513 or dangerous categories.

Formation at the scene, the students who had just entered the school not two hours have finally returned home because of the smog that covered Palembong City.

One of the students, Junaidi, said she immediately picked up her son after getting an announcement from the school.

"It's true today's smoke fog was very dense, I picked up a kid from school. Because it has been announced that students may go home because of smoke fog," Junaidi said.
