The Punjab government has announced the closure of schools from primary to higher secondary levels due to severe smog, lasting until November 17. Officials also mandated mask-wearing to protect against hazardous air, especially with crop residue burning worsening air quality. The government will shift students in affected areas like Lahore, Gujranwala, and Multan to online classes, starting November 17. Additionally, government offices will operate at 50% capacity with virtual meetings encouraged.
