Bilawal Bhutto lightly calls Karachi ‘fresh air haven’ for smog-hit cities

In a light-hearted yet pointed remark, Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari suggested that residents dealing with severe smog in Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa might want to consider moving to Karachi.

In a recent post on X (formerly Twitter), Bilawal shared air pollution data, playfully promoting Karachi’s relatively clearer skies while highlighting the worrying Air Quality Index (AQI) levels across other regions.

With smog so thick it’s visible from space, life in many parts of Pakistan has been heavily disrupted, leading to flight delays and temporary motorway closures due to the dense haze.
