It is quite unfortunate that the walled city is quite literally confining its people
LAHORE: The increase in dust levels in Punjab, especially in the city of Lahore has become a troubling issue. The dust, or what is known as the smog, has made it almost impossible for locals to breathe. Some have resorted to wearing face masks to avoid getting sick because of the smog. Others, who have been diagnosed with asthma or sinus problems, have resorted to staying at home.
It is quite unfortunate that the walled city is quite literally confining its people to stay behind walls to avoid falling sick.
If the provincial as well as the federal government doesn’t pay heed to the issue, it would not be long before the city completely comes to a halt.
