Pakistan bans entry to parks, zoos as air pollution worsens
Pakistan's Punjab province has banned entry to public spaces like parks and zoos until November 17th due to severe air pollution. Lahore, the provincial capital, has been ranked as the world's most polluted city, leading to school closures and work-from-home orders. The government blames toxic air from neighboring India, where crop burning contributes to hazardous air quality.
