The collaborative workshop, "#Let Peshawar Breathe," brought together esteemed clients such as Adam Smith International, Peshawar Clean Air Alliance, Seed Khushhal Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and Ukaid under one roof at Serena Peshawar. This unique gathering showcased an influential session where experts from diverse fields convened to brainstorm and share insights on combatting the pressing pollution issues in our beloved city.

The continuous decline in air quality has led to a surge in pollution-related diseases, posing a significant threat to public health.

Lahore, grappling with a menacing fusion of smoke and fog known as smog, has earned the dubious distinction of being the most polluted city globally. Peshawar, too, has witnessed a drastic deterioration in air quality, securing its position as the 5th most polluted city worldwide. This reality highlights the urgent need for collaborative efforts to address and rectify the dire situation.

The workshop was remarkable, uniting distinguished individuals from various professions, representing the cream of society. Professors, journalists, doctors, lawyers, and experts in nutrition and transportation gathered to share their valuable views and engage in fruitful discussions. As a representative of the media for TNN, it was an honor to be part of this insightful dialogue.
