In response to deteriorating air quality across Punjab, the Directorate General of Environment, led by DG Imran Hamid Sheikh, has issued a directive mandating the installation of air purifiers in all shopping malls and commercial plazas across the province.
The notification, aimed at countering the severe smog levels impacting cities such as Lahore, Faisalabad, Multan, and Gujranwala, emphasizes the need to provide cleaner air for customers in indoor public spaces.
The directive urges all districts to ensure compliance, particularly in high-traffic commercial areas, to mitigate the effects of smog and improve indoor air quality amid escalating pollution levels.
