As the air quality continues to deteriorate in Punjab, the caretaker provincial government has taken various steps to bring the Air Quality Index (AQI) back to a healthy level.
During the recent weeks, the AQI of Lahore has gone well above hazardous levels. In its ongoing efforts to reduce smog, the caretaker government announced strict measures recently, including shutting down markets and schools.
However, air quality in some of the densely populated areas of the province, particularly Lahore, hasn’t improved much. In a major decision, the provincial authorities recently announced a plan for artificial rain in the provincial capital.
The Punjab government has now allocated Rs. 350 million for the purpose and awaits the approval of caretaker Chief Minister Mohsin Naqvi.
A summary has been sent to the caretaker CM for his approval by the Finance Secretary in this regard. According to Punjab’s Caretaker Information Minister Amir Mir, Chinese experts will arrive soon to facilitate the local administration.
Moshin Naqvi recently announced that if the conditions are favorable, Lahore could experience artificial rain on November 29.
Yesterday, the Lahore High Court (LHC) ordered to close cafes in Johar Town by 10 PM. However, an extension of an hour has been granted on Saturdays, allowing them to open until 10 PM.

350 million worth artificial rain!
And how long will this artificial rain stay effective in combating pollution?
When you close industry the major loss is to the owner because workers are already paid very low, so if 350 million for whole Lahore for 1-day of rain is less than thier loss then they would pe happy to choose this over closed markets. But I think one time cost is high and recurring cost will be around 50 million or less.
Where is the cost ? Idiot!
350 million it’s written 🤦🏻
350 million/ 35 carore
No need artificial rain , first pay your Dept to foriegn country, it’s winter time now not summer time , there is no warm and dry weather , natural rain will come soon , better 350 million rupee distribute to the poor people ,
Please use your brain. This rain isn’t needed for a nice weather but to clean the air.
Please say Namaz e istaska, it will rain.
Hahaha

35 crore isn’t a joke
If u do some focus on plantation ☘️ … everyone will contribute to it and u can preserve the rain for years…💤💤
350 millions is a must, because thay want to make money for themselves. These are the few ways to make money. They will never ask farmers not to burn agriculture remains ask industrialists not to use carbon for fuel and strict rules for vehicle smoke.
