Lahore is the second largest city in Pakistan with a population of over 7 million people. It has many historical monuments but suffers from severe air pollution problems due to vehicle emissions, industrial pollution, and waste burning. Air quality monitoring shows pollution levels regularly exceed WHO standards. The main sources of pollution are vehicular emissions, particularly from motorcycles and auto rickshaws running on two-stroke engines, as well as lack of enforcement of environmental regulations. Improving the situation requires stricter laws, monitoring of air quality and emissions, promotion of alternative fuels like CNG, and better urban planning and waste management.

Assessment for the major
projects
18. Lack of proper Transport Policy
Weak coordination mechanism Motor-cycle Rickshaw- Bigger Nuisance
between various stake holders
associated with Transport
Transport Policy/ guidelines which
are not Environment friendly
One nuisance replaces another
nuisance
Tonga/ Horse carts were replaced by
Motorcycle rickshaws which have
brought more nuisance and air
pollution to the city.
21. More Traffic on the Roads and still
NO PLANNING OR
PROPER POLICY
22. Major source of Vehicular Air
Pollution
No Policy to check the emission
of Two stroke vehicles
No equipment for the annual
passing of the two stroke

On few occasions cases

major hurdle for any
remedial measures
In the absence of the
Magistracy, Police has to
play a role of
implementation agency
BUT
No commitment has yet
been shown by the
police in any
environmental field

Environmental field in the financial
