धुंध का सीज़न शुरू

Smog season has begun in Punjab, with fines, kiln sealings and officials reportedly praying for rain.

The smog season, which runs from October 15 to January 15, has begun, with air quality deteriorating across Punjab, Islamabad and Rawalpindi. Lahore recorded an air quality index of 251, described as extremely hazardous, Gujranwala 213, Rawalpindi 176 and Islamabad 131. Claims that smog would be controlled before the season began have not materialised.

Authorities in Rawalpindi Division will monitor emissions with drones and CCTV cameras. Since October 1, 20 stone-crushing machines have been shut, 14 brick kilns demolished and 119 sealed. Notices were issued to 1,403 farmers for burning crop residue, and 11,953 vehicles were challaned with fines totalling Rs35,859,000. Officials have reportedly started praying for heavy rainfall.

Drone, CCTV, challan, sab laga diya. Ab dua bhi chalu. Pehle code, phir cloud, phir Khuda. Prachand Chutiya wo hai, jo kaam karne se pehle dua karne lagta hai.

Arey bhaiya, tareeke dekhiye. Pehle claim kiya ki smog control kar lenge. Phir season aa gaya. Phir drone aur CCTV aaye. Aur ab sahab log dua kar rahe hain ki baarish ho jaye. Matlab plan A, B, C ke baad plan D: Upar waale ki mehrbani.

11,953 gaadiyon ka challan, 1,403 kisanon ko notice. Itni mehnat par ek sawal: smog ko bhi notice mila kya? Hum toh yeh bhi nahi keh rahe ki mehnat nahi ho rahi, bas yeh dekh rahe hain ki jab AQI 251 ho, tab 'dua' ko bhi budget mein jodna padega. Hamare yahan Dilli waale bhi isi dua ke bharose rehte hain, cousin ek jaisa hi hai.

FINAL VERDICTPrachand Chutiya Management Committee ka nirnay: dua ko bhi KPI mein jodo. Aur AQI 251 par ‘Extremely Hazardous’ ko 'Extremely Hopeful' ka rebrand kar do.
