Smog or a self-inflicted disease

Every person is blinded due to smog

Smog is now becoming a permanent disease like old age. Even the most courageous people are blinded these days. We are unable to understand whether these are the tears of the collective indifference of the nation or the irritation caused by smog. Well, irritation is our inheritance, we see someone eating, we see them coming, we see them going, those who are destined to be burned, that is why truck drivers have written that God will give you the burning ones too, this prayer does not mean that God will make you a truck driver too, it means that God will give you the wisdom to know why you are trying to drive a loaded vehicle.

Talking about trucks, I have heard that the Punjab government has banned heavy traffic from entering the capital Lahore because, according to their advisors, heavy vehicles emit smoke and create smog. What is the use of telling someone not to wash the floor during the rain, saying, "The road gets wet?" This is like telling a bald man to keep his hair trimmed. Do you sleep after drinking cannabis all year round? A friend said, "Cannabis is cheap. What use is it for high-ranking officials to be cheap?" We used to read in books that in difficult times, the leader is present within the nation, he cancels big meetings, official visits are postponed, saying, "My nation is in trouble, why should I leave them alone?" But our Honorable Minister went to England and Lahore was suffocating from smog. She must have been tired of her daily work. What an easy task it is to make old trolleys, garbage cans and dirty garbage trucks famous by changing their colors. Only those who are associated with the profession of painting know how difficult it is to paint dirty and rusty trolleys, handcarts and garbage cans.

When the topic of painting came up, I remembered that we are second to none in painting. Sometimes Lahore's pawn. Sometimes Ustad Qamar is a rat catcher and sometimes a wise ironworker. It is enough that someone takes help from these tick-talkers to combat smog, the entire scene has become blurry. Smog and fog have risen so high that neither the road nor anyone's suffering can be seen from a distance of a few meters. Everyone is suffering, some have been affected by smog, some by economic problems. When there is a law and punishment not to burn crop residues, why is prevention not done all year round? Then the answer is, where is the law? Government officials take salary for coming to their office and collect money for working from the people. So if you want to take steps to prevent smog all year round, then immediately report any fire to the department.

Now, which fire should you report? Smoke is rising from all sides. Babaji said, son, you should pray that God Almighty will grant you rain and save your life from this smog. Mana, who was using her mobile, said quickly, father, the Punjab government has started making arrangements to make artificial rain. Don't worry. When I looked up and saw Babaji, he was crying profusely. Son, don't interfere in the works of nature, otherwise just read the process of the Israelites making rain on their own, don't compete with nature, reform yourself. I was sitting nearby and thinking whether Babaji's tears were due to sorrow, sorrow, pain or due to smog.
