The Faisalabad Think Tank, a Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO) proposed installation of mist fans on electric polls along the Rakh Branch Canal in collaboration with the private sector to tackle smog.
Engineer Ahmad Hassan expressed concern that smog had been disrupting normal life for the last many years during the winter season but no tangible proposal surfaced to control it.
He said the government tried to contain it through costly experiments of artificial rain but it was not a permanent solution to the environmental phenomenon.
He suggested a comprehensive business plan which could be implemented under public-private partnership mode to permanently settle this issue in addition to utilising it during summer to bring down the temperature.
He said that business and commercial houses along the canal expressway could be motivated to fund and to own this project by utilising water from the canal and electricity already available to the streetlight system of Faisalabad Development Authority (FDA) in addition to its repair and maintenance.
