The digital assistant aims to simplify public access to environmental data, offering actionable insights such as when to limit outdoor activities, wear masks, or use air purifiers.
Government’s Vision for a Cleaner, Greener Punjab
Secretary Sajid Bashir highlighted that this initiative demonstrates the government’s commitment to adopting modern technology to tackle pollution and climate challenges.
“Our goal is to make Punjab cleaner and greener through innovative digital solutions,” he said.
