Punjab Chief Minister Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi has said that environmental emergency measures have been implemented to reduce smog in other cities, including Lahore.
Muslim League-Q leader and Punjab Chief Minister Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi said smog has been declared a disaster, there is a ban on crop residue burning across Punjab. Measures should be taken to control the factors that cause smog.
The officers at the Institute for Environmental Protection, Transport, Industry and Administration go to the field themselves. Failure to implement the ongoing SOPs to reduce smog will not be tolerated. Arbitrary measures should be taken against those who set fire to crop residues.

He said legal action should be continued against smoke-emitting vehicles. The anti-smog squad should regularly check smoke-emitting vehicles in the city. The anti-smog group should also check the vehicles at the entrances to the city.
