'Poison' dissolved in the air of Indonesia's capital Jakarta, the situation worsened so much that the President himself became ill with cough


According to a study, Jakarta, the capital of Indonesia, is the most polluted capital in the world. The pollution is so high that the entire city is wrapped in a sheet of smog.

The list of polluted cities in the world is very long, in which most of the countries are developing. Indonesia of South Asia is also included in this list. According to a study, Jakarta, the capital of Indonesia, is the most polluted capital in the world. The condition of air pollution is such that the President of the country, Joko Widodo himself has come under its grip. Due to air pollution in the capital, the situation has become so bad that a sheet of mist like white fog is spread all around.

Indonesian ministers reported this week that President Joko Widodo has been suffering from a cough for several weeks. It is being said that the reason for this is the bad air of this city with a population of one crore. The news of the President's cough comes at a time when IQAir, a Swiss company, has released a data, which states that in the past few weeks, Jakarta's air quality has become the worst in the world in recent times.

President orders to deal with pollution

The country's Tourism Minister Sandiago Uno spoke to reporters after a parliamentary meeting with other ministers. He told that President Widodo has asked to take concrete steps within a week to deal with air pollution. The minister further said that the President has been coughing for almost four weeks. He has said that this has never happened to him. The tourism minister told that Widodo's cough is being treated. Doctors say that the reason for this could be the deteriorating air of the capital.

People will be tested: Health Minister

Health Minister Budi Gunadi Sadikin also said that the President is very much troubled by the cough. He told that people living in the most populated areas of the capital will be tested.

Is there a lung or respiratory illness spreading among people? People will be tested only to find this question. The Health Minister told that at present the situation is being monitored. The effect of air pollution on people is being taken care of.
