The initiative is overseen by Director General Environment Abdullah Nayyar Sheikh, following directives from Punjab Senior Minister Maryam Aurangzeb. The department is employing a data-driven strategy to target areas requiring immediate attention. Dedicated field teams are continuously assessing conditions throughout the city to ensure the machinery is relocated to identified pollution hotspots. The operation is a critical component of the department's strategy to mitigate dust and particulate matter during the smog season. \"The deployment of anti-smog guns is closely tied to real-time monitoring so that resources can be efficiently allocated where they are most needed,\" Sheikh explained.
