Great developments in Lahore. I just hope that the newly built flyovers, roads and underpasses wont look dusty once completed. This is a major problem in pakistan. You build a nice road and the very next day, its filled with dust specially on the sides.

That comes with the terrain and the climate we live in, it can't be helped. The soil is very fine and the top layer is very arid and gets blown with the slightest of breezes, even though Lahore, for example, is heavily treed.

You should check out the Kohistan + Diamir stretch. You'd be picking out accumulated dust from your nostrils and nails every five minutes. Its always fun watching first timers washing their hair at every pit stop there.
@A.Rafay: brilliant work mate. Keep it up .

Lahore did get tons of cleaning equipment recently so i expect lahore to be cleaner soon.

@SHAMK9: Yup these trucks have been around for a while now. You can see them operating throughout the city late at night but they can only do so much when all it takes to make everything dusty again is a few minutes of a little breeze. For example, the streets of Model Town are swept and hosed down every morning just before dawn, this is being done for quite many years now, but come noon and everything is dusty again. The people in the west clean up their houses every spring and we have to do it every single day! You know, Im actually ok with the dust it comes with Lahore, what we need to do is get a hold on the pollution. Defense and Model Town are good examples of garbage trucks making rounds early in the morning and clearing away any trash that has been thrown away carelessly. This should be expanded throughout the city. Also littering should be made socially uncool.

PS: This lack of a concrete jungle, vast open parks and grounds and these abundant green belts in Lahore that we are in love with are also major culprits for making the roads dusty.
