🚑 Health Crisis Across the City
More than 15,000 people went to hospitals in one day because of breathing problems. Many are suffering from cough, asthma, and chest pain. Children and older people are the most at risk. Doctors are warning everyone to wear masks and avoid going outside. Lahore’s hospitals are struggling to handle the large number of patients.
🌫️ Why Is the Air So Bad?
The air in Lahore becomes worse during winter. Smoke from cars, factories, and crop burning mixes with fog to create smog. The city also has too many cars and not enough trees. People burning garbage and using old fuel add to the pollution. Without strong rules, the air keeps getting dirtier every year.
🛑 What the Government Is Doing
The government has taken some steps, like banning crop burning and shutting down polluting factories. But many of these rules are not followed properly. Some days, schools and offices are closed to reduce outdoor activity. Still, experts say more action is needed. People want stronger laws and clean public transport to fix the problem.
✅ How You Can Stay Safe
If you live in or near Lahore, stay indoors as much as possible. Wear a face mask when going outside. Use air purifiers if you can, and avoid morning walks when the smog is thickest. Drink lots of water and take care of your lungs. People can also help by planting trees and not burning trash.
