Bilawal Bhutto Zardari took to X (formerly Twitter) to share real-time Air Quality Index (AQI) readings from various cities in Pakistan, urging residents with the message, “Dear Pakistan, move to Karachi.”
Punjab is currently battling severe smog, with Lahore identified as the most polluted city globally. The AQI data reveals that Lahore's air quality is nearly 74 times above the World Health Organization's recommended limit, averaging a hazardous level of 588.
On Monday, AQI levels across different areas ranged from 565 to as high as 1,045, although this is an improvement from the 1,900 levels reported earlier this month. An AQI score of 0-50 is considered good.
Residents of Lahore are advised to limit outdoor activities, use air purifiers, and wear masks to mitigate exposure to pollutants. The Punjab Environmental Department may implement lockdown measures as needed to address the ongoing air quality crisis.
