The Ministry of Religious Affairs has called for the observance of Namaz-e-Istisqa, a prayer seeking rain, across the country. The ministry has also directed both federal and provincial governments to arrange and facilitate these prayers.
Furthermore, the ministry has called upon imams of mosques and the public to actively participate in offering the prayer for rain.
The persistent lack of rainfall remains a concern in the plains of Punjab, Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, and upper Sindh. Furthermore, the dense fog and smog in these areas have contributed to exacerbating the challenges.
It is pertinent to mention that earlier, the Meteorological Department had predicted rain and snowfall from January 25 to January 28 in various parts of the country.
The Met Department stated that Gilgit Baltistan, Kashmir, and upper Khyber Pakhtunkhwa are expected to experience rain and snowfall during this period. However, dense fog/smog is expected to persist in the plain areas of Punjab, Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, and upper Sindh during the last week of January.
