In a significant step to transform Lahore, Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif has announced the launch and assembly of the world’s first field‑tested Dust Suspension System.
Notably, the system includes 15 “Anti‑Smog Guns,” which spray ultra-fine water mist designed to capture harmful airborne particles, including PM2.5 and PM10, effectively forcing them to settle and purify surrounding air.
As per the chief minister's instructions, the Environment Protection Force is effectively managing the Anti-Smog Guns systems, which are an integral part of Punjab's real-time air quality monitoring infrastructure.
Equipped with AI-powered tracking, satellite data, drone surveillance, and QR-coded brick kilns, the system will automatically get enabled when pollution levels cross a predefined threshold—ensuring rapid and targeted response to air quality spikes.
“Alhamdulillah, the first-ever world-tested dust suspension system comprising 15 Anti-Smog Guns has arrived in Lahore and is being assembled,” CM stated. “With resolve, technology, innovation, and citizens’ participation, we will together, Insha’Allah, win the fight against smog.”
The system’s automatic activation capability gives real-time pollution suppression. Officials expect measurable reductions in PM2.5 and PM10 levels, marking a significant stride towards cleaner air.
It is worth noting that this initiative not only addresses acute smog challenges but also highlights Punjab’s commitment to urban innovation and sustainable public health infrastructure.
