LAHORE (The Thursday Times) — Lahore peer ko dunya ka sab se aalooda bara shehar raha, IQAir ki live darja bandi mein is ka air quality index 590 aur aik ghante ki reading 647 tak pahunchi, taham hawa ka rukh badalne se shaam tak yeh taqreeban 218 par aa gaya.
Fehrist mein agle shehar bohat peeche the, Ulaanbaatar 177 aur Delhi 174 par tha. Punjab mein Raiwind mein 688, Multan mein 655 aur Faisalabad mein 600 record kiya gaya. Shaam 7 baje IQAir ne Lahore ka index 218 bataya, jo ab bhi is ke “bohat ghair sehat mand” darje mein hai.
Hukumat ka mauqif: Senior wazir Marriyum Aurangzeb ne X par kaha ke Diwali par sarhad paar aatish bazi se aaloodgi mein izafa hua, aur behtar mausam, tez hawaon aur anti-smog operations ne usay kam kiya. Un ke diye gaye adaad ke mutabiq subah 9 baje ke baad Allama Iqbal Town mein index 1,063 se 207, Punjab University mein 768 se 181 aur Civil Secretariat mein 614 se 155 par aa gaya.
Kitni aaloodgi kahan se aayi: Punjab hukumat ne itwar ko khabardar kiya tha ke Bharti Punjab mein Diwali ki aatish bazi aur faslon ki baqiyat jalane se uthne wala dhuan mashriqi hawaon ke saath 5 se 13 ghanton mein Lahore pahunch sakta hai. Sarhad paar se aane wale hisse ki azadana tasdeeq nahin hui, aur satellite data mein Pakistani Punjab ke andar bhi faslon ki aag ke numayan waqiat dikhai diye. Subai mehkama-e-mahooliyat ne 1 October se 4 November tak faslon ki aag ki 459 reports record kin, jo guzishta saal isi arse se 28 feesad kam hain, aur faslein jalane par 57 muqadmat darj hue. Mehkama mangal ko aik jaiza jari karega jis mein mausam, maqami ikhraj, faslon ki aag aur sarhad paar aaloodgi ke kirdar ka muwazna kiya jayega.
Aage kya hoga: Hukumat ko tawaqqo hai ke mangal tak aaloodgi zyada rahegi aur budh se kuch behtari aayegi. IQAir ki peshgoi ke mutabiq Lahore ka yaumia ausat mangal ko taqreeban 164 aur budh ko 163 rahega, jo ab bhi ghair sehat mand hai.
Kya karein: Hukumati advisory mein bachon, buzurgon, hamila khawateen aur dil ya phephron ke mareezon ko khatarnak reading ke dauran gharon mein rehne aur baqi shehriyon ko subah ki sair, jogging aur cycling moakhar karne ki hidayat ki gayi hai. Khirkiyan aur darwaze band rakhein, gari ka AC recirculate par chalayen aur kachra ya patte na jalayen. Apne ghar ko smog se bachane ke bare mein mazeed parhein.
