Students rally over fires in Indonesia's South Kalimantan

Hundreds of students clashed briefly  with authorities in Indonesia's South Kalimantan city of Banjarmasin on Thursday (Oct 22) as they demanded stronger government action to tackle forest and land fires that have blanketed parts of Kalimantan in haze and raised concerns over public health. After a tense stand-off, a student delegation was allowed to meet lawmakers and government officials, who pledged to step up efforts to tackle the crisis and assist affected residents. #indonesianews #indonesia #haze
