In a soft yet pointed dig, Pakistan People's Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari has suggested that citizens troubled by heavy smog in parts of Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa should consider relocating to Karachi.
Sharing pollution data in a recent post on X (formerly Twitter), Bilawal humorously touted Karachi’s comparatively clearer skies while calling attention to the alarming Air Quality Index (AQI) levels affecting other parts of the country.
As smog blankets regions of Pakistan with such intensity that it can be detected from space, everyday life has been severely impacted.
The dense haze has led to flight disruptions and the temporary closure of motorway sections.
In response to worsening conditions, the Punjab government recently announced the closure of all public and private schools across the province, shifting half of private institution staff to online work through November 17 to mitigate exposure risks.
