The Punjab environment department announced on Sunday a ban on heavy traffic entering Lahore on Fridays and Saturdays.
According to details, the new regulation will be enforced from November 8 to January 31.
The heavy vehicles will only be allowed in the city from Sunday to Thursday.
However, exceptions will be made for trucks carrying essential goods such as fuel, medicines, food, and hospital supplies.
This decision has been taken to combat the threats posed by the toxic smog in Punjab's provincial capital.
