(1/3) As Chiang Mai was listed as the city with the worst air pollution in the world Thurs, PM Prayut urges farmers to stop burning agricultural wastes, adding he's reluctant to enforce the law to punish them because they're farmers.

(3/3) Article 220 of the Public Health Act stipulates that anyone found posing danger to others through the buring of agricultural waste or rubbish could face up to seven years in prison and a fine of up to 140,000 bt.
