Lahore's Deadly Smog Forces School Closures

Lahore, Pakistan's second-largest city, has been hit with a massive smog problem, leading to the closure of primary schools for a week.

The city's air quality index (AQI) soared to an alarming level, exceeding 1,000, which is considered extremely dangerous.

Experts say the pollution is so intense that it's beyond what they can even measure, creating a severe health risk for residents.

Lahore consistently ranks among the most polluted cities globally, and this toxic air is a major concern for the health and well-being of the city's residents.
