Pollution in major Pakistani cities

In Peshawar, Pakistan, on November 11, 2024, the Motorway (M1) Toll Plaza road is closed for traffic due to heavy smog. The situation is resulting in widespread traffic disruptions, as major motorways and roads are being closed at various points to prevent accidents. Reduced visibility is also leading to the closure of Motorway M1 from Peshawar to Rashakai and Motorway M2 from Bheera to Kot Momin. Motorway M2 is closed from Lahore to Bhera, while Motorway M3 is blocked from Lahore to Durkhana. Similarly, Motorway M4 is shut down from Multan to Pindi Bhattian, and Motorway M5 is closed from Multan to Sukkur. Additionally, the Lahore-Sialkot Motorway is also blocked, further exacerbating the traffic situation.
