“The TikToker chief minister has left the country amid this toxic smog,” Gul remarked, highlighting the respiratory difficulties and health issues citizens are enduring due to the pollution. “The entire province is engulfed in smog with almost zero visibility,” she added.
While drawing attention to the government’s handling of the crisis, Gul was observed without a face mask, in apparent violation of standard smog safety guidelines.
The worsening smog levels have raised public health concerns across Punjab, with many citizens calling for stricter pollution controls and more effective government action to address the environmental hazards.
