Federal Minister for Science and Technology Fawad Chaudhry has offered to help India combat the smog problem engulfing both countries.
Taking to Twitter, the minister suggested using a scientific solution to handle the smog.
Fawad in his tweet said that the burning of crops in the Indian city of Jalandhar was causing chaos on both sides of the border adding to the toxicity in the air making it difficult to breathe in.
He then offered a machine-based solution to turn the crop residue into a source of energy rather than burning it.
A thick layer of smog has descended again on Punjab, especially hitting Lahore.
According to the Air Visual, the Air Quality Index (AQI) in Lahore is hazardous. The toxic smog in Lahore also forced the government and private schools to remain closed on Thursday.
Meanwhile, experts in India argue that current levels of air pollution represent a public health emergency requiring full emergency mode response from local and national authorities.
