  "account": "Indonesia's police are investigating 97 local and foreign companies, including a Japanese subsidiary known as PT MTI, over alleged involvement in ongoing forest and land fires across several islands in the country, Kyodo News reported on Thursday. Asep Safrudin, the head of the National Police's Criminal Investigation Unit, made this disclosure during a media briefing in West Kalimantan. In addition to the Japanese subsidiary, 21 other foreign companies are under investigation.\n\nSafrudin requested the government to revoke the business licenses of 23 of the 97 implicated companies, without specifying the identity of these firms. He stated that repeated forest and land fires have occurred since the beginning of the year in the concession areas linked to the implicated companies. The massive fires in Indonesia's Borneo, Sumatera, Sulawesi, Maluku, and Papua provinces since August have resulted in deteriorating air quality and forced schools to shift to online learning. The police also expressed concern over the health of the local population, with many experiencing respiratory issues.",
