LAHORE: The Punjab Safe Cities Authority is using modern technology to monitor activities that contribute to air pollution and smog across the province.
The authority is using AI technology, Safe City cameras and drone surveillance to identify environmental violations and activities that can worsen air quality.
Officials say violations detected through the monitoring system are being followed by e-challans and other legal action against those responsible.
The use of technology is aimed at improving monitoring and supporting efforts to control pollution, particularly during the smog season.
Authorities have also urged citizens to play their part in protecting the environment and report environmental violations by calling the emergency helpline at 15.
Cleaner air requires action from government agencies, businesses and the public. Responsible practices and timely reporting can help support a cleaner and healthier Punjab.
