LAHORE:In response to the escalating environmental challenges, former Transport minister Ibrahim Hasan Murad Wednesday called for immediate and year-round cloud seeding operations to combat climate change and improve air quality.
The former minister stresses that an immediate action is required to address the worsening environmental crisis, particularly in Lahore, which is consistently ranked among the most polluted cities in the world.
On November 1, 2023, Murad took a pivotal step by formally requesting the UAE government to assist Punjab government in combating its climate challenges through cloud seeding technology. The UAE, renowned for its expertise in cloud seeding, conducts over 300 missions annually. In response, the UAE government generously deployed two specialized aircraft and a technical team to Pakistan, carrying out the nation’s first-ever cloud seeding mission.
