Lahore Air Quality Index Reaches 219
According to recent pollution data, Lahore’s AQI has reached 219, placing it among the most polluted cities globally. The persistent smog and haze continue to affect visibility and public health.

Why Rain Matters for Lahore’s Smog Crisis

Officials continue to monitor weather patterns for any potential change that could bring relief.
