Prime Minister Imran Khan Thursday said the continuing winter rains were worth billions of rupees to the national economy besides replenishing the water table and glaciers.

"We should all thank Allah Almighty for the continuing winter rains that are worth billions to the economy apart from replenishing our water table and glaciers plus countering air pollution," he said in a tweet. "Insha Allah we will have a bumper wheat crop this year," he hoped.
