💨 Abstract

Pakistan's Punjab government declared a smog calamity due to hazardous air quality in Lahore. Authorities implemented measures such as a green lockdown, school closures, and restrictions on activities causing pollution. However, enforcement has been inconsistent and violations have been reported. Air quality remains critical, ranking Lahore as the second-most polluted city globally. The government urges public cooperation in enforcing the new regulations.
