The President said rainfall cleared away much of the smoke in Sumatra. He said thehaze was reduced to a level where commercial airline companies could operate again. But another official toldreporters that much more rain is needed to help put out the fires. Luhut Panjaitan is Indonesia’s Coordinating Ministerof Politics, Law and Security. “This week we have rain. If we have intensive rain for four straight days and our waterbombings continue, I hope we would be back to normal next week. That’s our hope, but again it all depends on howmuch rain we have,” he said. The official added that he has asked government agencies to consider the possibility ofcreating artificial rain.Indonesia has come under heavy pressure from neighboring countries and environmental groups to put out thefires. Every year, some companies set forest fires on purpose. They do this to clear land and make way for palm oilplantations. Thousands of people have developed breathing problems because of the smoke. Some non-governmentalorganizations plan to take legal action against the government. They say Indonesian officials have ignored thewell-being of communities affected by the smoke. The government has deployed more than 22,000 police officers andarmed forces members to fight the forest fires. There are more than 1,600 fires burning in at least six provinces.
