Lahore Fireworks Ban & Karachi Aerial Firing Warning
The Environment Protection Department issued a notification on Wednesday, announcing the ban on all types of fireworks and aerial displays.
Deputy Commissioner Lahore warned that strict action would be taken against anyone found violating the ban.
“We are working to control smog and reduce air pollution in the city, and we urge citizens to cooperate with us in this effort,” the deputy commissioner said.
The city administration has cited health and environmental protection as top priorities, and the ban aims to reduce air pollution and protect public health, especially during the winter season when smog levels tend to peak.
Earlier, ahead of New Year’s Eve, AIG Karachi Javed Alam Odho issued a warning for the people of the port city, planning aerial firing in celebration of the year 2025.
The police will register cases under the attempted murder section for aerial firing incidents that occurred on New Year’s Eve, AIG Odho warned Karachiites.
