Lahore, Pakistan Grapples with Dense Fog

Dense fog engulfed Pakistan’s Punjab province, particularly impacting Lahore, now ranked as the world’s second most polluted city due to its high air pollution levels. The city’s air quality index reached a staggering 414 micrograms, causing visibility to plummet to just 10 meters. Multiple highways shut down to avert potential accidents as authorities urge drivers to avoid unnecessary travel, hinting at a possible extension of the ongoing school holiday. Similar foggy conditions prevail in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Sindh provinces.
