Just saw the news that Aqi in Lahore, Pakistan has reached 1900 and their govt is blaming it on India as the winds are taking the smog from India to their side of Punjab.
To me 1900 is a very surprising number, because I live in Delhi NCR region and bad Air is nothing new to us. But even after the Diwali the air next day was quite bearable and Infact good as compared to our standards, just on the night of diwali the whole gunpowder smell was getting in the throat. This was the second most clean post Diwali air in Delhi since 2015. Still remember the horrors of 2016 and 17, nothing was visible was all smoggy. How's the air quality in your areas considering we have people here from all parts of the country. What's the average aqi level there these days, for my area it varies between 150-270 daily .

What a cuntry ? AQI too high and IQ too low.

On a serious note, I too wonder is L a hore too industrialized to get that level of pollution ? Or a gimmick for an excuse to ask more funds from their masters ?

Lahore is a duplicate of old delhi (geographical and cultural terms). 

So like delhi is bad in pollution, same lahore. But 1900 actually seems imaginary. Its showing around 400 currently. Their machines might be faulty.

Aqi average is around 200 levels. Should settle near 100 in coming months. 

It used to be under 75 a decade back. So situation is deteriorating.

Population is not the reason I guess as Some Indians exhale O2 + water droplets to keep the environment cool.

And they don't use 5 cars for 3 members just because they have Huge Colour paper stocks 🙃

Spoke to someone in downtown, two hours back. Now it is not that much really.

The administration of the government of Uttar Pradesh (under the the chief minister Ajay Bisht), had blamed stubble burning in Napaakistan as the partial cause of higher AQI in Uttar Pradesh🤦🏻‍♂, hence probably they are (their local administration is) returning the favour by claiming that Indian side stubble burning is going there.

Though honestly, the Punjab province in Napaakistan and the state of Punjab are next doors, so it is not impossible that the words carry stuff.
Minute sand grains from African regions are found to have regularly been blown up the rainforests in south Americas elsewhere.

By the way, the AQI in places like Delhi, Indore had hit 'severe' on the morning of Narak Chaturdashi or thereabouts.

Everywhere smog, other things are causing issues.

This is true because currently the wind direction is from Ind to Pak but 1900 is used to viral this news.
