During his speech at the event, Saurabh Bhagat, CEO of SHEOWS, highlighted the significance of this collaborative effort. “This partnership goes beyond mere construction; it embodies a collective vision aimed at redefining elderly care in India. With the integration of German expertise and the commitment of the Harmony Care Foundation, we are creating a space where senior citizens can live with dignity and receive outstanding support,” he stated.

The occasion was graced by several dignitaries, including Rao Narbir Singh, Haryana’s Minister of Industries, Commerce, Environment & Forests; Trivendra Singh Rawat, former Chief Minister of Uttarakhand; Sohna MLA Tejpal Tanwar; and Guru Brahm Das Ji Maharaj, among others.

The institute will concentrate on vital aspects of elderly care such as geriatric medicine, cognitive health, nutrition, rehabilitation, and supportive care. Through the incorporation of advanced healthcare methodologies and global best practices, this project aspires to establish new benchmarks for elderly care in India.

Pakistan Ranked World’s Most Polluted Country in 2025

Published

on

Islamabad: Pakistan has been ranked as the most polluted country in the world in 2025, according to a new report released by Swiss air quality monitoring company IQ Air.

The report found that Pakistan’s average PM2.5 pollution level was 13 times higher than the safe limit recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO). PM2.5 refers to tiny harmful particles in the air that can enter the lungs and cause serious health problems.

IQ Air said that only 13 countries and territories met the WHO air quality guideline of less than 5 micrograms of PM2.5 per cubic meter of air in 2025. This was an improvement from seven countries in 2024.

The report also revealed that 130 out of 143 monitored countries and territories failed to meet the WHO standard.

Bangladesh was ranked as the second most polluted country, while Tajikistan secured the third position. Chad, which was the most polluted country in 2024, ranked fourth in 2025.

Experts said that Chad’s lower ranking may be linked to missing pollution data. In March 2025, the United States ended a global air quality monitoring program due to budget cuts. The program had collected pollution data from US embassies and consulates around the world.

Christi Chester Schroeder, the lead author of the report, said that the loss of data makes it difficult to know the true pollution levels in some countries.

Because of data shortages, Burundi, Turkmenistan and Togo were not included in the 2025 report.

The report also identified Loni in India as the world’s most polluted city. The city recorded an average PM2.5 level of 112.5 micrograms per cubic meter. Hotan in China ranked second with 109.6 micrograms.

According to the report, the 25 most polluted cities in the world were all located in India, Pakistan and China.

Only 14 percent of cities worldwide met the WHO air quality standard in 2025. This was lower than the 17 percent recorded in the previous year.

The report noted that large wildfires in Canada increased air pollution levels across the United States and even affected parts of Europe.

Countries that met the WHO air quality guideline in 2025 included Australia, Iceland, Estonia and Panama.
