ISLAMBAD — Businessman Javed Ahmed is taking no chances with his family as Pakistan’s business and banking hub Lahore shuts down over toxic smog that marked it as the world’s most polluted city.
“I am working from home and we as a family have limited our outdoor activities to the minimum possible,” he told Nikkei Asia. “As a Lahore resident, smog is not new for me. Still, I have not seen anything like the smog we’re having now. It’s unbearable.”
