• Smog is also a concern, with cities like Lahore having bad air quality.

People in Punjab are requesting the government extend school winter vacations further because of dense fog and severe cold weather.

Punjab schools are scheduled to resume classes on Wednesday, January 10, 2024, following an extended winter break.
