LAHORE: The Punjab government has started using anti-smog gun technology to fight air pollution in Lahore and other parts of the province.
Punjab Senior Minister Marriyum Aurangzeb said that the formal use of these guns had begun in different areas of Lahore. She added that an AI-based climate system was also being used to check the effectiveness of the technology.
The minister explained that the anti-smog guns spray fine water droplets into the air to reduce dust and pollution particles. Similar machines are also in use in countries like China and India to control smog.

Aurangzeb said the new technology would not only help in controlling smog but also in reducing respiratory and lung diseases caused by polluted air.
