MULTAN: Police crackdown on smoke-emitting vehicles, brick kilns and factories dropped the Air Quality Index (AQI) in Multan from 900 to 500 and then to 300 on Wednesday.
The air pollution concentration has also reduced considerably, and citizens let out a sigh of relief. The AQI had reached a critical level of 2000 one week before when the CPO and district administration ordered a crackdown on smoke-emitting vehicles, industries, brick kilns, and other sources.
The police and the district administration have launched a crackdown on smog-emitting vehicles, brick kilns, the burning of crop residues, and other polluting factors, resulting in cleaner air in the city than ever before, he said. Police and district administration fined hundreds of vehicles. Similarly, brick kiln owners were encouraged to use modern zigzag technology to reduce emissions. Apart from this, the burning of crop residues and fossil fuels in the fields has also been banned, and legal action is being taken against the violators.
