After Diwali, the pollution level in Delhi reached dangerous levels. The bad air increased people’s worries even before the cold arrived. According to CPCB data, the 24-hour average pollution in Delhi also increased to 359 on the day after Diwali.
Due to the fireworks, the weather in Delhi had become confusing. At many places in Delhi, the PM 2.5 level exceeded the prescribed limit several times. But meanwhile the question is being asked again and again why pollution has increased in the city of Lahore in Pakistan, while pollution in Delhi has increased.
Eye irritation, difficulty breathing.
Pakistani media recently spoke to many of these workers whose work has been greatly affected due to pollution. A worker said that because of this smog our work has been greatly reduced. Before we worked with contractors, the work was huge, which was good, the system was working, but now, due to this confusing situation, many contractors and owners have stopped working. They don’t leave their houses until 12 or 1 p.m. Our productivity levels have also been reduced due to smog causing fever, shortness of breath, cough and eye irritation.
“I don’t know if I’ll get a job or not.,
Another worker said that now the situation has changed. The contractors have stopped working, but we arrive at the construction site and wait to be hired. Sometimes they hire us, like I was hired today, but God knows if I will get a job tomorrow or not. We come to work every day and sit for hours, but rarely are we put to work and eventually return home.
So let us tell you that there are many reasons for the increase in pollution in Lahore, Pakistan. The main reason is the smoke that comes out of the vehicles. While the second reason is construction work. Furthermore, air pollution is also increasing due to pollution from factories, burning of stubble and fossil fuels, and forest fires.
