Lahore has been declared the most polluted city globally, with an alarming Air Quality Index (AQI) of 394, prompting the Punjab government to launch the 'Anti-Smog Squad' to combat the worsening smog crisis. The initiative, announced by Punjab Senior Minister Marriyam Aurangzeb, aims to educate farmers on the dangers of crop residue burning and promote alternative disposal methods. "The positive effects of the measures taken to combat smog will become visible in 8 to 10 years," Aurangzeb stated during the launch.
