  An ambitious roadmap for smog mitigation has been launched in Pakistan's Punjab province, but experts are not convinced.

The article from Eco-Business discusses Punjab's new smog plan aimed at tackling the severe air pollution that plagues the region, particularly during the winter months. The plan includes measures like promoting cleaner industrial practices, encouraging the use of zigzag technology in brick kilns to reduce emissions, and enforcing strict regulations on crop residue burning, which is a significant contributor to smog. Additionally, the initiative involves enhancing public transport to decrease reliance on private vehicles, and increasing green cover through extensive tree planting. However, the article questions the effectiveness of these measures due to challenges in enforcement, political will, and the economic implications for farmers and industries. It highlights the need for a comprehensive approach that not only focuses on immediate solutions but also addresses underlying issues like agricultural practices and urban planning to ensure long-term air quality improvement.
