On Wednesday, Lahore’s air quality dropped to dangerous levels again, as citizens reported waking up to a hazy morning.
At 10am the Air Quality Index (AQI) was reported at 466 by Lahore Air, a private initiative to monitor the city’s toxic air.
While, according to the air quality monitors installed by the US consulate in Lahore, smog in parts of the city reached alarming levels.
The dirty air is expected to remain shrouding the city for the next three days.
Last time a soupy air blanketed the city, with AQI dropping to 800, the Punjab government shut down schools for a single day. Till the filing of this report, there has been no response from the federal minister and the minister of state for climate change.
