Air Crisis: Pakistan Implements Unprecedented Measures, Including Artificial Rain

Amid escalating air quality concerns in Pakistan, authorities have taken unprecedented steps, including school and market closures, and cloud-seeding efforts in Lahore. Despite initial success, the crisis, fueled by urban development and environmental negligence, has led to economic losses and health issues. Critics argue that the government's focus on short-term fixes neglects underlying problems like deforestation and emissions. As elections loom, political tensions and other priorities overshadow urgent environmental action, emphasizing the challenge of balancing economic recovery and sustainability.
