An increased crackdown has been ordered by the Inspector General of Police (IG) to shield the public from smog.

Sardar Saleem Haider Khan, the governor of Punjab, has also called for the province to declare an emergency due to the deteriorating smog.

According to the governor, air pollution in the majority of the province’s districts has gotten out of hand. “There are a lot of people who are ill and getting admitted to hospitals,” he stated.

According to Sardar Saleem Haider, closing educational institutions, entertainment parks, and colleges couldn’t provide fruitful outcomes. “Traders oppose markets being closed by 8:00 PM.”

He said that majority of Punjab’s districts and Lahore are experiencing an increase in pollution. He suggested declaring a short-term emergency to stop smog.

The governor went on to say, “To control the smog, the institutions must agree.”
