Smoke from vehicles, factories and burning of the remains of crops have been major factors behind the dense smog that engulfs cities in the beginning days of the winter resulting in breathing issues and other health problems. The LHC judge Justice Shahid Karim issued orders while hearing a petition seeking the court’s intervention to curb smog. The court allowed shopping centres to do business till midnight on Friday (today), Saturday and Sunday as preparations for celebrating Christmas are gearing up. High court bench also ordered to de-deal rice mills and suggested working on the plan of rooftop gardening as it would be helpful to deal with air pollution.
