LAHORE: Smog persists across various cities in the country, including Lahore, which once again topped the list of the world’s most polluted cities on Saturday.
The average Air Quality Index (AQI) in Lahore was recorded at an alarming 766. Specific areas reported even higher levels: DHA registered an AQI of 1,324, Syed Maratab Ali Road reached 1,210 and Ghazi Road Interchange recorded an AQI of 850.
Lahore, once celebrated as the “City of Gardens” for its lush greenery and vibrant landscapes, is now grappling with a severe smog crisis that has turned its skies into a grey, suffocating blanket. In recent years, air pollution in Lahore has reached critical levels, with the AQI frequently surpassing hazardous limits, often exceeding 300-400, well above the safe thresholds set by Punjab Environmental Quality Standards and World Health Organisation (WHO).
In response to worsening air pollution, authorities have extended the “green lockdown” measures until November 24.
