During the meeting, specialists in the fields of health and the environment provided recommendations on how to counteract the negative impacts of smog. Following careful consideration, Chief Minister Naqvi declared that the restrictions caused by the haze would be lifted and that on Friday and Saturday, marketplaces, eateries, establishments, and companies will stay open. In addition, Punjab’s educational institutions will begin their winter break on December 18. The CM gave the administration, LWMC, and PHA instructions to keep watering and cleaning the roads. In order to make sure that measures are taken to maintain a low air quality index, he also ordered a crackdown on factories that burn tyres and cars that generate large amounts of smoke.
