The Punjab government has recently launched a Rs3 billion initiative to deploy 30 advanced fog cannons mounted on electric trucks, aimed at combating severe smog and air pollution in major urban and industrial areas. This initiative is part of a broader Clean Air and Climate Resilient Strategy, which also includes a Rs2.25 billion allocation under the Lahore Air Improvement Framework.
