WEB DESK: The Minister of Information for Punjab has announced that markets and restaurants in Punjab will operate as per routine on Saturday and Sunday, as no restrictions have been imposed for this week due to smog.
This clarification comes after significant confusion regarding whether markets and restaurants in Punjab’s most smog-affected cities, such as Lahore, would remain open or closed due to smog-related concerns.
پنجاب بھر میں مارکیٹیں، بازار، ریسٹورانٹس اور کاروباری ادارے ہفتہ اور اتوار کو معمول کے مطابق کھلیں گے۔ اگلے ہفتے سموگ کی صورتحال کا دوبارہ جائزہ لیا جائے گا اور اقدامات تجویز کئے جائیں گے۔

However, it appears that, following a slight improvement in the air quality index, the government has opted not to impose further restrictions.
It is crucial to note that this decision applies only to this Saturday and Sunday. The determination for the next week will be announced next week after examining the smog and air pollution situation in Punjab’s cities.
