When Pakistan's AQI surpasses 2100, Punjab closes its parks and schools.

-



According to an ARY News story on Friday, Pakistan kept setting new records for air pollution, with seven of its cities ranking first on the list of the most polluted cities worldwide.

With an Air Quality Index (AQI) score of 2,135, Multan had dangerously high air quality, while Lahore came in second (676).

When Lahore topped a real-time list of the world's most polluted cities on Sunday, recording its highest-ever pollution levels of 1,900 near the Pakistan-India border on Saturday, Pakistan had just a week before accused India of being to fault.

The Pakistani government must act due to pollution.
Only after air pollution reached dangerous levels did the Pakistani Punjab province government take decisive action, closing schools, museums, and amusement parks for ten days, from November 8 to November 17, according to ARY News.

Lahore, Gujranwala, Faisalabad, Multan, Sheikhupura, Kasur, Nankana Sahib, Gujarat, Hafizabad, Mandi Bahauddin, Sialkot, Narowal, Chiniot, Jhang, and Toba Tek Singh are among the areas that were impacted by the restriction, according to the news source.

Predictions of worsening haze conditions required by low wind speeds between Lahore and Multan indicate that the pollution problem will only become worse next week.
Multan, Lahore, Peshawar, Islamabad, Haripur, Rawalpindi, and Karachi are a few cities with dangerously low air quality.

This comes after commerce and industry ministry officials earlier this week stated that India plans to engage with stakeholders and resolve all outstanding issues with the US in the bilateral trade agreement (BTA) both countries aim to sign by the end of the year. Dampening prospects of a concession, US President Donald Trump said Thursday India will face reciprocal tariffs on April 2, a move likely to hurt India’s exports of agricultural and pharmaceutical goods. These are among the products that have a high tariff differential with the US. I have a very good relationship with India, but the only problem I have with India is that they are one of the highest tariffing nations in the world. I believe they are probably going to be lowering those tariffs substantially, but on April 2, we will be charging them the same tariffs they charge us,” Trump said in an interview with US-based Breitbart News. This comes after commerce and industry ministry officials earlier this week stated that Ind...
