Faslon ki baqiyat jalane par nazar

Baqiyat jalane se woh smog barhti hai jo har sardiyon mein Lahore aur doosre shehron par chha jati hai. Kirmani ne kaha ke nigrani hafta-war aur deegar chhuttiyon mein bhi jari rehni chahiye, aur baqiyat jalate pakde jane wale har shakhs ke khilaf bila imtiyaz karrawai ki jaye.
Lahore is haftay ek baar phir duniya mein aloodgi ki fehrist mein sab se oopar raha, jabke naye soobai daste faslon ki baqiyat ki aag bujhane mein masroof rahe.
Pakistan ki zyada tar gandum Punjab mein ugayi jati hai, aur buwai December tak jari rehti hai. Sindh mein soobai hukoomat 20 November se 5 lakh 50 hazar kisanon ko 17 arab rupay ki gandum subsidy de rahi hai.
