Smog has severely affected various cities across Punjab, including Lahore, which is currently ranked among the world’s most polluted cities. Multan has also experienced a dangerously high pollution index due to smog, leading the provincial government to close the motorway due to low visibility.
The smog problem is aggravated by winds from India, and both fog and smog are now spreading to Rawalpindi and the federal capital, Islamabad.
