Legal And Islamic Approaches To Tackling Road Pollution In Pakistan: Understanding The Causes And Developing Effective Strategies

Abstract

Road users in Pakistan are subjected to a variety of pollution kinds, including dust, smoke, loud horns, and unrepaired noisy automobiles. This article examines the reasons for these pollutions, the laws and regulations in place to address them, and useful coping strategies for lessening their effects on people and communities.

The article starts off by looking at the factors that contribute to these pollutions, such as the widespread use of loud horns and high-powered lighting as well as poor maintenance of vehicles. Additionally, there is a lot of dust and smoke pollution because of bad urban planning, traffic congestion, and industrial activity.

Second, the article addresses the legislation and laws that are now in practice to handle these pollutions, such as the legislation known as the Environmental Protection Act and the Motor Vehicle Ordinance. Travelers on the roads continue to be exposed to pollutants as a result of inadequate enforcement of these limitations. Similarly Islamic teachings emphasize the importance of preserving the environment and avoiding behaviors that harm others. Thus, in addition to laws and regulations, individuals have a moral obligation to take steps to reduce pollution.

The article concludes by offering useful coping strategies for travelers who want to reduce their exposure to these pollutants, like using noise-cancelling headphones and anti-glare eyewear, as well as avoiding traveling during times of heavy traffic.

In conclusion, the article identifies the critical problem of pollution that Pakistani road users face and offers workable measures to lessen its effects.
