Anger is mounting at the companies accused of burning land in Indonesia and the authorities who have failed to stop them.
The burning of peatlands and other vegetation has released large amounts of smoke and ash, creating a toxic smog that has drifted across Southeast Asia.
Local businesses and residents in affected countries have blamed the companies for the environmental damage and the health risks caused by the haze.
Government officials have been criticised for not enforcing regulations or taking decisive action to curb the fires.
As the smog continues to threaten air quality, calls for accountability and stronger environmental controls are growing louder.
