Lahore, Pakistan gasps for 'poison' air. They blamed India for pollution. Claimed that the smoke produced by burning candles in India during Diwali crossed the border and entered the country. But this time Pakistan's report on pollution watered that claim. Pakistan's air pollution monitoring agency has clarified in its report that there is no definite link between Lahore's pollution and Diwali bursting of candles in India. According to informed sources, Islamabad's face burned again in the whole incident.
The Pakistan Air Quality Initiative released its report on Tuesday. There, in India, the theory of pollution of Lahore with the bursting of bajis on Diwali has been virtually dismissed. Instead, concern has been expressed about the burning of crops in the Punjab province of Pakistan. According to data obtained from satellite images, between October 1 and November 9, around 16,714 fires were detected in agricultural land. According to sources, most of them are related to burning of crops. At the same time last year, there was an incident of crop burning in Pakistan's Punjab province. This time also the picture has not changed.
Lahore has recently been named as the most polluted city in the world. Lahore's air quality index (AQI) reached 410 on Friday. AQI is the air pollution measurement unit. Once that value reaches more than 300, it becomes 'dangerous'. As a result, it is easy to imagine how dire the situation is in Lahore. Air pollution has worsened there in recent years, becoming a major concern for public health and the environment. Experts have already asked the residents of the area to be careful. It is advised to wear face mask when going outside and use air purifier indoors.
