LAHORE, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 1st Feb, 2024) The city amidst its ongoing struggle against smog and elevated pollution levels witnessed
a substantial transformation in its atmospheric conditions as early morning light showers
blanketed the city, resulting in a noteworthy decline in air pollution.
The morning rain swiftly altered the city’s skyline, introducing clearer and fresher air to the
environment.

its standing.
