The government can start the initiative from Lahore which is one of the most polluted cities in the world and expand to the five most-polluted cities where masses are under serious threat of health hazards.<br \/>\nHe said that substandard fuel, adulteration, industrial waste and emissions, power plants and deforestation has enhanced the pollution level from 30 to 40 per cent in different cities.<br \/>\nParacha said that a recent study has estimated that in one year over 125,000 lives are lost to pollution in Pakistan which should be controlled otherwise the toll will increase.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ISLAMABAD All Pakistan CNG Association (APCNGA) on Wednesday lauded the decision of the Prime Minister Imran Khan to reduce smog and pollution.
