Local Development Ministry to Launch Fall 2026 Air Pollution System
The Ministry of Local Development and the Environment has announced the launch of a system to address sudden severe air pollution events known as "Black Cloud" during Fall 2026. The goal is to reduce harmful emissions from sources such as agricultural residue burning—especially rice straw—factories, and vehicles. The plan relies on early weather forecasting of conditions like prolonged periods of stillness and light breezes that contribute to pollutant accumulation. The ministry anticipates an increase in the frequency of this phenomenon to 37% this fall, compared to 33% last year. The program includes intensifying monitoring and surveillance efforts, conducting inspection campaigns on burning facilities, and community awareness campaigns. It emphasizes cooperation among relevant authorities and rapid response to limit pollution and protect air quality. Continuous oversight is provided through the Central Crisis Room, which operates around the clock to receive reports.
