The Punjab government has announced plans to shut down marriage halls in the province that continue to operate without essential air filtration equipment. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has instructed its field teams to enforce compliance with this requirement. EPA Director General Abdullah Nayyer Sheikh directed officers to commence action against non-compliant venues following the expiration of the January 31 deadline for installing suction hoods.
Despite a nine-month grace period, the EPA has now decided to take stringent action against those that have yet to meet the compliance standards. Businesses found operating without the necessary air filtration equipment will be permanently sealed. In addition to closure, non-compliant venues will also face significant fines. The EPA has maintained a zero-tolerance stance on smoke emissions from commercial kitchens and other pollution sources.
The agency has already sealed over 500 restaurants in Punjab for failing to meet the suction hood requirements.
