lahore smog
Lahore’s air quality has plummeted to an alarming Air Quality Index (AQI) of 1000, with pollution reportedly drifting in from India, making it the world’s most polluted city once again, according to a statement by Punjab’s Senior Minister Maryam Aurangzeb on Saturday.
Minister Aurangzeb cautioned that the severe smog is likely to persist for the next 48 hours, urging those with respiratory, chest, or heart conditions to exercise caution and advising elderly citizens to avoid outdoor exposure.
In response, officials are encouraging residents to stay indoors as much as possible and to wear masks if stepping outside is necessary. Meteorologists have warned that air quality continues to degrade, exacerbated by crop residue burning in neighboring Indian farmlands. NASA satellite imagery has further highlighted the extent of the pollution.
The day before, Lahore’s average air pollution level was documented at 157, with the five-day average hovering around 180. The influx of smoke has intensified smog levels across the city, creating hazardous conditions for residents.
