**Interview with Dr. Usman Anwar, Inspector General of Police, Punjab**
**Host:** Welcome to our show, Dr. Usman Anwar. Thank you for joining us today to discuss the critical issue of smog in Lahore.
**Dr. Anwar:** Thank you for having me. It’s an important issue that we need to address urgently.
**Host:** You recently announced an acceleration of anti-smog operations. Can you tell us more about what these operations involve?
**Dr. Anwar:** Certainly. Our anti-smog operations target major contributors to air pollution, including vehicles and industrial emissions. We have increased our patrols on highways and are conducting special checks to ensure compliance with environmental regulations.
**Host:** That’s great to hear. I understand that during the recent operations, 197 cases were registered. What types of offenses are you seeing?
**Dr. Anwar:** Most of the cases involve violations of vehicle emission standards and burning of crop residues. We are also addressing industrial units that do not adhere to pollution control measures.

**Dr. Anwar:** we are seeing a positive response from the public. Many citizens are becoming more aware of the health risks associated with smog and are supportive of our measures. However, we still encounter some resistance from those who may not fully understand the impact of pollution.
