The Lahore High Court has banned the operation of smoke-emitting commercial generators in designated ‘green lockdown’ areas to address air pollution.

Justice Shahid Karim, who was hearing petitions filed by citizens, including Haroon Farooq, aimed at reducing smog, directed that pollution control devices be installed on these generators within seven days.
