LAHORE (Reuters) -Pakistan's province of Punjab set up a "smog war room" to tackle severe pollution, officials said, as poor air quality turned its capital of Lahore into the world's most polluted city and forced the closure of some educational institutions.
Live rankings by Swiss group IQAir gave Lahore a pollution index score of 1165, followed by the Indian capital of New Delhi, with 299.
