According to a local media outlet, the professor behind Pakistan’s first-ever artificial rain experiment in Pakistan has been removed as the Head of the Geography Department.
Prof. Dr. Munawar Sabir has reportedly been replaced by a woman professor, who is a 10-year junior to him. Dr. Sabir has been serving as the head of the geography department since August last year.
It is pertinent to mention that he was a member of the Artificial Rain Experiment team and the Punjab Government Commission.
It should be recalled that on December 16, 2023, 48 flares were launched during the first artificial rain experiment in different areas of Lahore. This experiment was conducted to tackle the smog crisis in the province.
Former caretaker Punjab Chief Minister, Mohsin Naqvi, announced during a press conference that the first artificial rain in Pakistan had been successfully created. He also expressed gratitude to the UAE team for their contribution.

It’s good that he was removed to let in someone who can be better then him. The problem in pakistan is that that professors have created a mafia that doesn’t let young minds work in freedom. This professor mafia should be broken in all the universities across Pakistan. Apart from damaged economy professor mafia is another very big reason due to which young minds are trying to get scholarship abroad.
There is nothing wrong with change of hod. Its a common process in universities and there is no rule that a senior will always rwmain hod. After a specific time hod changes.
