A vehicular pollution, noise as well smoke, control campaign will be jointly launched by the traffic police and the Sindh Environmental Protection Agency (SEPA) in Pakistan.

During the campaign, smoke emission and level of noise from vehicles would be measured by joint teams of the traffic police and SEPA staff.
