LAHORE: Assistant Commissioner (AC) Aurangzeb Sadhu sealed a plastic factory for causing smog and not taking effective measures against dengue at Chah Balanda Kasur, on Sunday.
The AC told the media that crackdown on excessive smoke-emitting industries was under way in the district.
The AC said: “Air pollution was increasing due to burning of plastic waste outside the crushing unit.”
Aurangzeb said that the factory owner had dug a pit and stored water there, which was causing dengue larvae spread.
He said the eradication of smog and dengue was one of the top priorities of the government.
