LAHORE:The Lahore High Court Friday directed the authorities concerned to enhance the fine on smoke emitting vehicles from Rs200 to Rs2,000 and impound the vehicles for three days.
Justice Shahid Karim was hearing a case regarding government’s failure to control smog in Punjab and particularly in Lahore during upcoming winter season.

Commission recommended that the finance department should be asked to table smog related bill before the cabinet which would pave way for its presentation before the assembly to become a law.
