ISLAMABAD: In an effort to mitigate the impacts of smog in different regions of the nation, Pakistan has been granted material and technical support from the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
The UAE’s ambassador to Pakistan, Hamad Obaid Ibrahim Salem Al-Zaabi, expressed his concern about the fog situation in Pakistan, particularly in Punjab, in a brief interview with The News here on Saturday.
He remembered that previous year, when the caretaker government was in control here, the UAE administration had given Pakistan technical aid to help them get through the smog.
The brotherly people were supported by the UAE’s provision of special planes for cloud seeding, which helped provide artificial rain in some places, he continued.
