Smog clean tower installed in Lahore to combat air pollution

In a significant step towards tackling the growing issue of air pollution, a Smog Clean Tower is being installed in Lahore. The tower, designed by the Environmental Protection Department, is being set up in the Mahmood Booti area, which has been identified as one of the city’s most polluted locations.

The installation and calibration process of the tower is underway, and officials expect it to be fully operational by December 21. The tower is designed to filter toxic particles from the air, which is expected to help significantly reduce pollution in the city.

Senior Provincial Minister Maryam Aurangzeb praised the initiative, calling it a revolutionary move towards environmental protection. She highlighted the importance of modern technology in addressing serious environmental issues like smog. The tower is expected to serve as a model for other cities across Pakistan.

Aurangzeb emphasised that the government is committed to taking all necessary measures to address environmental challenges and improve air quality for the residents of Lahore. This project is critical in the country’s ongoing efforts to combat air pollution.
