CTP launches smog awareness campaign in bid to combat pollution
RAWALPINDI, Nov 11 (APP): The City Traffic Police (CTP) has launched a smog awareness campaign across Rawalpindi and its tehsils to combat air pollution, with awareness lectures and walks being organised on the directions of Chief Traffic Officer (CTO) Farhan Aslam.
Awareness walks were held in Gujar Khan and Taxila, where pamphlets were also distributed among citizens to educate them about the harmful effects of smog and the importance of keeping the environment clean.
Addressing participants, In-charge Traffic Education Inspector Tahira Kamal said everyone must play an individual role in ensuring a clean and healthy environment.
“If we do not eliminate smoke, it will eliminate us,” she said, adding that smoke emitted by vehicles not only contributes to environmental pollution but also causes various diseases.
She urged motorists to get their vehicles tuned regularly, saying they should not deprive others of their right to breathe clean air.
CTO Farhan Aslam said that no individual could fight environmental pollution alone, but collective efforts could help overcome the problem. He urged citizens to cooperate with Rawalpindi Traffic Police in its efforts to provide a clean and healthy environment.
