Authorities in Lahore are taking action to address the increasing smog levels by implementing artificial rain. Preparations for this initiative are already underway, supported by a budget of 350 million rupees ($1.2 million) from the Ministry of Finance.
The project involves collaboration between environmental and meteorological departments to ensure its success.
In addition to the artificial rain, there are ongoing discussions about temporarily closing schools due to the worsening air quality. The rising smog poses serious health risks, particularly to children, prompting the need for such measures to protect public health.
