Punjab imposes mask mandate as toxic smog chokes Lahore, world’s second most polluted city
ISLAMABAD: Authorities in Pakistan’s eastern Punjab province have made face masks mandatory for traffic police and sanitation workers as smog levels worsen in Lahore and other cities, according to an official statement on Tuesday. Punjab, and its capital Lahore, face a recurring “smog season” from October to February, driven by crop-residue burning, vehicular and industrial emissions and stagnant winter weather conditions. The hazy blanket has previously pushed the Air Quality Index (AQI) above 300 in Lahore, a hazardous level that forced school and office closures in November 2024.
