      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;In a historical step, Lahore witnessed its maiden experiment with artificial rain on Saturday.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;During a press conference in Lahore, Caretaker Chief Minister of Punjab Mohsin Naqvi said that there was a successful experiment of artificial rain in Lahore, and the Prime Minister congratulated him.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Mohsin Naqvi revealed the careful orchestration of this unprecedented endeavor happened with the help of the UAE.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;CM Punjab said that this morning Lahore was the most polluted city, and artificial rain was given for the first time in the history of the country.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;    &lt;figure class='media  w-full  w-full  media--stretch  media--embed  '&gt;
        &lt;div class='media__item  media__item--youtube  '&gt;&lt;iframe src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/0AdODRb5HfA?enablejsapi=1&amp;controls=1&amp;modestbranding=1&amp;rel=0' allowfullscreen='' frameborder='0' scrolling='no' width='100%' height='100%'&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
        
    &lt;/figure&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Detailing the procedure, Naqvi said, the rainfall was induced across ten areas of Lahore and 48 flares were deployed for cloud seeding, specifically targeting the Shahdara area.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;CM Punjab Mohsin Naqvi, while lauding the success of the first-ever Lahore artificial rain experiment, reiterated the meticulous planning that went into the initiative.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He expressed gratitude to the Environment Department and the entire UAE team for their exhaustive scrutiny of the process, culminating in the eagerly awaited results.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Remarkably, he emphasized that not a single rupee from Punjab’s coffers was spent on this groundbreaking achievement, crediting the UAE Government for their support in making the artificial rain project a reality.&lt;/p&gt;
