Punjab govt deliberating on weekly holiday, work from home arrangement to counter smog in Lahore
The Punjab government on Tuesday said it was deliberating on a weekly holiday and work from home arrangement to counter smog in Lahore.
According to a statement released by the spokesperson of the provincial government, the final decision on the matter would be taken during the cabinet meeting.
“During the upcoming cabinet meeting, the proposal for implementing a ‘work from home’ arrangement for one day in educational institutions, government offices, and markets will be under scrutiny,” he said.
The spokesperson added that proposed strategies and recommendations aimed at combating smog would also be thoroughly examined in the cabinet meeting.
“In light of recent rainfall, the air quality index in Lahore has improved to a reading of 55. A strategic action plan will be formulated to sustain this positive trend in air quality,” he said.
Separately, the Lahore Commissioner’s Office has said that if the decision was implemented, a weekly holiday in the city would be observed on Wednesday and the implementation would begin next week.
A statement issued by the spokesperson of the Lahore commissioner said all educational institutions, markets, and offices will operate normally tomorrow. The extension of the extra holiday will come into effect starting next week after the issuance of notification from the provincial government.
