The PM’s fears are well-founded, as some experts have expressed that air pollution can certainly increase the risk of transmission, as well as pose new challenges to those who previously had been infected. He also said that efforts are also being made to generate electricity from the solid waste as has been done in the rest of the world. The premier hinted at introducing a system of reward and punishment to overcome climate change hazards. Speaking on the occasion, Special Assistant to the Prime Minister on Climate Change Malik Amin Aslam explained that Attock and Bannu districts clinched the first position on the climate change index in Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa respectively. Both the parks would be managed by the Environment, Climate Change and Coastal Development Department and Sindh Environmental Protection Agency, he had added.
