The government said everyone in Lahore was required to wear a <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FaceMask" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FaceMask</a>."Fifty percent of employees must also work from home as part of a '<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GreenLockdown" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GreenLockdown</a>' in the city, the government said, adding that barbecuing food without filters was banned and motorized rickshaws restricted. Wedding halls must close at 10 p.m. and artificial rain is likely to be used to combat the pollution."The air-quality index in Lahore exceeded 1,000 over the weekend, a record high in Pakistan."Toxic gray smog has sickened tens of thousands of people, mainly children and elderly people, since last month when the air quality started worsening in Lahore, the capital of eastern <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Punjab" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Punjab</a> province bordering India."The government has also banned construction work in certain areas and fined owners of smoke-emitting vehicles. Schools will remain closed for a week because of the pollution, according to a government notification."The concentration of PM 2.5, or tiny particulate matter, in the air approached 450, considered hazardous, the Punjab Environment Protection Department said."Lahore was once known as a <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CityOfGardens" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CityOfGardens</a>, which were ubiquitous during the Mughal era from the 16th to 19th centuries.

Ms. Que BanhIt's gray & gloomy outside today. I'm brightening up my day (and yours😊), with a garden border bed, which is filled with bright yellow, cheery, sunshiney, black eyed susans in large pots. I grow in pots to contain them better. Taken a few days ago, from our front yard, when it was sunny outside.<a href="https://beige.party/tags/Bloomscrolling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Bloomscrolling</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/rudbeckia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rudbeckia</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/florespondence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#florespondence</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/flowers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#flowers</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/BlackEyedSusan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BlackEyedSusan</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/perennials" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#perennials</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Autumn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Autumn</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/FallFlowers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FallFlowers</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Cheerful" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Cheerful</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/blooms" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#blooms</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Saanich" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Saanich</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/VictoriaBC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#VictoriaBC</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/CityOfGardens" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CityOfGardens</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/PacificNorthwest" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PacificNorthwest</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/GardeningMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GardeningMastodon</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Gardeners" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Gardeners</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Cascadia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Cascadia</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/YYJ" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#YYJ</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/PNW" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PNW</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/PollinatorGarden" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PollinatorGarden</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Yellow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Yellow</a>
