Mapping the Smog: Punjab

For decades, Punjab suffered from recurring smog that crippled transportation, endangered public health, and damaged the environment. In 2025, the provincial government launched a decisive, data-driven campaign to tackle this persistent crisis.

From Reactive to Proactive Action

Rather than relying on temporary fixes, Punjab adopted a long-term strategy based on real-time data, analytics, and strict enforcement. The approach emphasizes proactive monitoring and rapid response to pollution sources across all sectors.

Comprehensive Pollution Tracking

Technology at the Core

Punjab’s modern air-quality management integrates satellite imagery, AI-powered analysis, and thermal drone surveillance to map pollution more precisely than ever before.

Eyes on the Air: Real-Time Transparency

“Air-quality stations across the province now measure PM2.5 and PM10 continuously, giving residents real-time insight into the air they breathe.”

This fusion of ground-level data and advanced monitoring tools marks the province’s most ambitious environmental reform effort yet, connecting public trust, accountability, and better health outcomes.

Author’s summary: Punjab’s bold data-driven strategy reshapes smog control through real-time monitoring, AI precision, and strict enforcement for cleaner, healthier skies.
