Pollutants have once again engulfed Lahore, and government officials continue to blame Indian farmers for the recent spell of smog.

Today, the smog levels in Lahore crossed 550 on the air quality index, while the threshold for hazardous level of air quality is 300. The index warned that the soupy air in Lahore is hazardous to breathe, especially for young children.

At the moment, Lahore’s air quality is equal to smoking 22 cigarettes a day!
