Official institutions in Iran’s Kirman province were vacationed due to air pollution.

According to a statement from Kirman Governor’s website, official institutions and schools were closed because of the dust clouds from the Southern and Northern states and the air pollution caused by the storm.

Speaking to Iran’s official news agency IRNA, Reyban District Governor Emin Bakiri of Kirman province said that the air pollution in the district is 9 times higher than normal.

Even though Iran is facing an environmental problem, the authorities do not take any measures to prevent it.
