Let's join hands: Pak Punjab CM to Capt

Lahore: Chief Minister of Pakistan's Punjab province Shehbaz Sharif has written to his Indian counterpart Capt Amarinder Singh and invited him to strike a “regional cooperation agreement” to tackle smog and pollution that has affected people on both sides, media reports said on Tuesday.

In a letter dated November 19, Shehbaz (66), the younger brother of ousted Pakistan PM Nawaz Sharif, explained some of the causes of smog, including stubble-burning. “I would like to invite you for entering into a regional cooperation arrangement to tackle the issue of smog as well as environmental pollution. Let us join hands for securing a prosperous future for the people of our two provinces," Shehbaz said. PTI
