The twin cities are smothered in a thick blanket of smog, and it’s only getting worse!<\/p>\n

Rawalpindi\u2019s AQI hit a jaw-dropping 246, while Islamabad isn’t far behind at 230…putting both in the dangerous category<\/h2>\n

And if you’re thinking anti-smog measures are on top of it, think again!<\/p>\n

And who is causing all this mess??? Well it’s no secret…smoke-belching vehicles top the list, making up a massive 83.15% of the pollution. And if you think factories, kilns, and crop burning aren’t pulling their weight, think again! They\u2019re the next biggest culprits, despite claims that \u201cmeasures\u201d are in place.<\/p>\n

On top of that, dust is settling on every surface, from tree leaves to parked cars, making clean air a distant memory for residents.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Regional Transport Authority (RTA) is hitting the streets with fines and vehicle impoundments.<\/p>\n

In one week, they seized 41 smoke-emitting vehicles and slapped Rs250,000 in fines<\/h2>\n

Meanwhile, crop residue burners were fined Rs200,000, and all stone crushers in Taxila have been shut down. Kilns? Temporarily closed through January. But while the efforts are noted, the smog isn\u2019t budging!<\/p>\n
