Seasonal haze emergency over central Myanmar

Authorities in central Myanmar, including Mandalay region, have issued health warnings and emergency response measures due to unusually thick seasonal haze lowering air quality and visibility across m

The seasonal haze over central Myanmar, driven by widespread agricultural burning and dry‑season weather patterns, has intensified in recent days, prompting local environmental and health authorities to issue public alerts. Visibility has dropped significantly in several townships, disrupting road and river transport, while air‑quality indices have exceeded safe thresholds for vulnerable groups. Government agencies are coordinating emergency measures, including school closures, reduced outdoor work hours, and public advisories to limit exposure. The haze event is part of a broader pattern of regional transboundary smoke affecting the Mekong sub‑region, which has led to renewed discussions on regional cooperation to curb agricultural burning and improve air‑quality monitoring.
