@CDAthecapital CDA doing all sorts of road and inter change projects . However, CDA may kindly give some consideration to remove heavy traffic passing through Islamabad via IJP & Islamabad Expressway. These commercial vehicles emit pollutants which makes the air polluted.
What is the rationale for bringing 27 CA. What are the salient features of the proposed 27 CA and its possible impact on the general public. The Govt. may kindly share the same with the general public along with its justification.
The e-bikes are being promoted in Pakistan. However, the concern is about the performance of e-bikes being supplied with Graphene batteries which may require early replacement as compared to Lithium-Ion batteries. Replacement cost is high, the public may discard these e-bikes.

@CDAthecapital why all focus on underpasses and flyovers. Why priority not being given to improvement in water availability, health services, SWM , public transportation, provision of sports and performance of private housing including DHA & bring them in property tax net.

@FatimaAttarwala reference Dawn article dated October 20, 2025. Interesting & informative. However, it overlooked issues like transborder air movement, existing regional forums as air pollution could never be addressed without regional cooperation and source apportionment

@Marriyum_A honourable Sr. Minister GO Punjab. Reference "Suthra Punjab" campaign , kindly direct companies using various packing to sensitize their customers how to properly dispose of empty packing material. Tetra packs could be folded to reduce size so are empty tin cans.
As reported, involving private environmental certified laboratories for vehicle emissions testing in Islamabad, without strict QAQC, calibration protocol and monitoring would lead to malpractice.
@ClimateChangePK @CDAthecapital zig zag technology for brick kilns without fuel specifications is eyewash as it only converts PM 10 to PM 2.5. Pak EPA has a mobile air monitoring lab. why is it not operative and not being used to monitor air quality on various hotspots in ICT?
A number of cases are also mentioned. However, as far as the implementation is concerned , it is weak. The question is what are the main limiting factors when it comes to implementation. Is it the weakness of regulators, civil society, public at large or the overall society?
While listening to speeches of worthy judges of High Court and Supreme Court of Pakistan, at the Breathe Pakistan conference held at Lahore. It was mentioned that judicial intervention has played a key role in safeguarding environmental protection.
As reported the Cabinet decided to handover 15 non operational aircrafts of Department of Plant Protection to various institutions. It is expected that this junk would not be fixed on various roundabouts as monuments, where dust covers them giving ugly look.
The Air Pakistan Breathes - Conference being held today at Lahore, is a significant event to discuss a vital issue. There is a need to make corrections at the basic level, including revision of emission standards, effective monitoring, data reporting & awareness at all levels.
During my visit to Sydney, I observed that wood chips are used to cover soil of plants beds. I was told that this is an effective way to retain moisture. Why this is not practiced here in Pakistan to cover the top soil of plant beds and plant pots especially in urban areas?
#JaneGoodall Saddened on the demise of a legendary person. May her soul rest in peace. She has set high standards for love and affection towards primates. Hopefully, her legacy would be followed by her followers and team members. ❤️🇵🇰
Asia Cricket Cup ended unceremoniously. This has set a wrong precedent. Cricket in South Asia is a sporting event which binds the people to set aside their stresses and enjoy. The recent incidences took away that opportunity also. So unfortunate. 😭.
@GovtofPakistan @ClimateChangePK a few months back Türkiye donated organic waste composting units which were delivered to Pak EPA for installation at the appropriate place. It is expected that the composting units stand installed and functional.
Yesterday, I saw a black vehicle with a SC green numberplate. The vehicle crossed from the river Ravi toll plaza at M-2, the toll bar was already up. The same vehicle crossed me after Kalar Kahar at a speed above 120 km. I wonder if VIP vehicles are exempted from rules?
@GovtofPunjabPK @EPCCDpunjab as reported 29 types exempted from environmental approvals. Seems a fair decision. However, at least the proponent of such projects may be bound to submit an online environmental statement based on which instant online approval may be issued.
@sherryrehman Kind attention is drawn that three dams supply water to RWP/ISB. The catchment area of all is Galiyat. No sewage treatment including sewage from the adjoining urban population. Kindly give direction to install prefabricated septic tanks in all human settlements.
