China has supplied Pakistan with 25 weather detectors valued at $1 million to establish a very low frequency (VLF/VF) lightning network.
The primary aim is to enhance the lightning warning capabilities of the Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) and mitigate the impact of lightning-related disasters on both lives and properties. Zahid Rafi, Director of the Seismology Division at PMD told Gwadar Pro that these detectors are deployable across various regions in Pakistan where lightning poses a threat to life and property.
