Both countries will have to sit together. The problem of smog is not a personal problem of any country, but of people's lives. The plan to eliminate smog is being implemented for the last 8 months. Total AQI in Lahore was 1110 and it went up to 2000. We have given a three-month target to the concerned departments, please use the technology on the media also for smog control.

Never said I was an expert. We all have to work together to prevent smog. NGOs, civil society and all four provincial governments have to do this work together. We are getting suggestions from all over. WWF has also written a letter to the Chief Minister of Punjab. For the first time in Punjab, 1000 super seeders have been given to farmers. Punjab Super Cedar is also available on rent.
Superseeders have been given to prevent crop residue burning. Now smoke camera monitoring we are seeing ourselves. We have demolished more than 800 kilns. We have operated the kilns in a zigzag manner. Smog problem will not end next month or next year, smog is a long-term process. Punjab government has also given e-bikes, Punjab CM has introduced e-vehicle policy. There was no law to check motorbikes. We pay fines, but the infrastructure for vehicle certification was not there. The process of certification for two-wheeler and three-wheeler vehicles has started.
