Feature Stories - Sahiwal Coal-fired Power Plant & Transboundary air pollution

[Abubakar Syed]

Dear All, 

Sharing my latest for Dawn on how Sahiwal Coal-Fired Power Plant in Sahiwal is causing air pollution problems, depleting and deteriorating groundwater, affecting agricultural yield and severely impacting the growth of guava trees.

Also find another story I wrote for The News on Sunday (TNS) on the need of transboundary collaboration between Pakistan and India to address air pollution. Though we do need to address the air pollution sources, most of which originate from within Pakistan, we certainly have to work with India to jointly address the problem.
