The Punjab government on Monday installed 30 modern air quality monitors in the province\u2019s top cities, including Lahore.

<\/strong>This move is part of the larger digital transformation initiative spearheaded by Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz, aimed at improving environmental monitoring and public health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The newly introduced air quality monitoring system is designed to provide real-time data on pollution levels across various cities. As part of the initiative, air quality monitors have been set up in Lahore and other major cities, with plans for further installations in the coming months.

Lahore, known for its high levels of air pollution, now has eight operational monitors, marking a notable increase in the city’s environmental monitoring infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Senior Provincial Minister Marriyum Aurangzeb, the system will see an additional 25 monitors installed in the second phase. These new installations will be spread across several regions, with monitors planned for Faisalabad, Sheikhupura, Rawalpindi, Multan, Gujranwala, Sialkot, and Bahawalpur. By the end of this month, Sargodha and DG Khan are also expected to receive their air quality monitors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
