Smog has choked Pakistan’s Punjab province, pushing air pollution to hazardous levels. Lahore’s Air Quality Index (AQI) reached 760, while Multan hit a shocking 1,914, prompting emergency measures. The smog has caused accidents due to low visibility and forced closures of businesses and public spaces. Authorities blame cross-border pollution from India for exacerbating the crisis.
