Air quality monitors installed in different cities: Marriyum Aurangzeb

Punjab’s Senior Minister Marriyum Aurangzeb announced that 30 air quality monitors have been installed in the province’s cities with the highest levels of air pollution, according to ARY News on Monday.

Senior Minister Marriyum Aurangzeb stated that these monitors will help gather accurate data, track pollution in real time, and aid in its prevention, as reported by ARY News.

She added, “Twenty-five more air monitors will be installed in the second phase,” while the number of air quality monitors in Lahore has increased to eight, following the installation of three new devices.

In Rawalpindi, three monitors have been set up, with one each in Faisalabad and Sheikhupura. Two monitors have been installed in both Gujranwala and Bahawalpur, while one has been added in Sialkot.

The Senior Minister explained that all these monitors are connected to the central control room of the Environment Protection Agency. This modern digital system will also link to the global information network.

“Instead of withholding information, we are setting a new tradition of sharing facts with the public,” she said.

She emphasized that ongoing air quality monitoring is a step toward a permanent solution to the pollution problem.
