Lahore Surpasses Delhi in Air Pollution, Pakistan Points to Diwali

Lahore, Pakistan's capital city, has overtaken Delhi in terms of air pollution levels, according to recent reports. This development has sparked a diplomatic exchange between the two countries, with Pakistan blaming India's Diwali celebrations for the spike in air pollution in Lahore. Diwali, the Hindu festival of lights, involves the burning of fireworks, which can significantly contribute to air pollution. Pakistan has called on India to take measures to control air pollution during such festivals to mitigate its impact on neighboring countries.
