With the escalating smog crisis in Punjab, authorities have implemented changes to school schedules to minimize health risks. On Wednesday, the Punjab Environmental Protection Authority PEPA announced the adjustment, stating that from October 28, 2023, to January 31, 2025, schools will now start at 8:45 am. Additionally, school assemblies will be conducted indoors to shield students from the dangerous air quality outside. The students can get latest updates of Punjab Revises School Hours to Combat Rising Health Concerns Amid Severe Smog.


Precautionary Advice to Reduce Pollution Exposure

PEPA has also recommended various safety measures for the public, urging them to avoid outdoor activities and exercise as much as possible. Citizens are advised to keep windows and doors closed to prevent air pollution from entering homes. Other precautionary steps include wearing masks when outdoors and ensuring that vehicles are properly maintained to reduce smog-producing emissions.


Fireworks and Similar Activities Suspended Until January 2025

In a move to further limit smog-related pollution, PEPA has temporarily banned fireworks and similar public activities until January 31, 2025. The decision is part of a broader effort to decrease emissions contributing to the hazardous air quality affecting the province.


Lahore’s Air Quality Reaches Dangerous Levels

Lahore, once again, ranks as the most polluted city globally. The city’s Air Quality Index AQI surged past 500 for the second consecutive day, reaching a hazardous level of 503, according to US AQI standards. The dangerously high levels of pollution have raised serious concerns among citizens, particularly for those with pre-existing health conditions.


Health Warnings Issued for Vulnerable Groups

Medical experts have issued strong warnings, particularly for individuals with respiratory conditions such as asthma. They advise extreme caution during this period, urging vulnerable individuals to remain indoors as much as possible. People with dust allergies are also advised to stay inside to avoid complications, as experts predict the smog will continue to be a significant health risk in the coming months.
