The Lahore High Court (LHC) has ordered the Punjab government to make work from home necessary twice a week amid the ongoing smog.
During the hearing of environment-related petitions on Friday, Justice Shahid Karim of LHC directed the officials to issue a notification in this regard within a week.
Furthermore, the caretaker government also drew the court’s ire for ignoring its order regarding the closure of schools every Saturday. Additionally, the LHC judge expressed his displeasure over the government’s practice of targeting the business community to hide its incompetence.
It should be recalled that last month, the provincial apex court ordered all government and private offices to allow work from home for two days a week.
However, no official notification has been issued to comply with the court’s orders. Meanwhile, other measures such as market closures and early cafe shutdowns have been enforced effectively.
Moreover, heavy fines have also been imposed on smoke-emitting vehicles across the province.

Exactly! The judges living in a fantasy world!!
This notice only for some hours. After few hours the all market and stores will be open. Very talented government
Fools heaven it is. Even judges know that no body gives a duck about their orders not even government. Even in covid 19 private offices were fully functional in different areas. Couple years ago Pakistan was about to dry. Court ordered not to waste waters. Judge gone order gone. Every other person washing their home front even bakns and big stores wasting water but who cares. All this crap is just on papers. At the end wah je wah ham ne bohat kam kiya.
Some universities are not giving holidays on 18 dec as per orders like UHE, LCWU and some other government universities kindly take action against them
The real problem that generate Smog is not the smoke emitting vehicles, yes they are a contributing factor But The real problem is burning of Carbon dist as fuel in rerolling mills in Lahore. Only if this is controlled 92% of smog will be taken care off. But who will do it.
Any court in the world.that plays with administrative ambit of government as was in steel mill , Recodeck or privatosation process and now work from home
