The same crisis, every winter - Effective measures and recommendations for Punjab

What has actually worked against smog, and what hasn’t? In the final part of the Smog Series, we assess Punjab’s core measures, from zig-zag kiln conversion to anti-smog guns, and set out practical, evidence-based recommendations. Our main recommendation? Redirect spending toward proven source-control measures, verify compliance independently, link air quality data to health outcomes, and act on forecasts before smog arrives.
