From January to August 2026, the Environment Protection and Climate Change Department, Government of the Punjab has strengthened environmental enforcement across restaurants, with a focused effort to reduce smoke, fumes, and harmful emissions from commercial kitchens.
A key priority has been ensuring the installation and effective use of suction hoods and proper exhaust systems, helping capture and control cooking smoke and emissions before they affect surrounding communities and the environment.
This initiative reflects EPA Punjab’s commitment to cleaner air, responsible business practices, and stronger environmental compliance. Through inspections, awareness, monitoring, and enforcement, restaurants are being encouraged to adopt practical measures that contribute to a healthier and more sustainable Punjab.
Environmental protection is a shared responsibility, and every restaurant, business, and citizen has a role to play in building a greener, healthier Punjab.
