JAKARTA – The Jakarta administration will impose remote working for city employees and home learning for students ahead of the Asean Summit in September, a move aimed at curbing the severe air pollution that has been choking the Indonesian capital in recent months.
Jakarta has consistently ranked among the 10 most polluted cities globally since May, according to data compiled by Swiss air quality technology company IQAir.
