He stated that EPD is in charge of enforcing the Punjab Environmental Protection Act of 1997. “It is an Act to provide protection of the environment, conservation, rehabilitation, and improvement, to prevent and control pollution, and to promote sustainable development,” he said in the letter, according to The News.
