Delhi Plans Cloud-Seeding Attempt to Induce Artificial Rain Amid Poor Air Quality
Delhi is preparing for another cloud-seeding attempt within the next two to three days to induce artificial rain and reduce worsening air pollution. IIT Kanpur, Delhi government, Delhi International Airport Limited, and private firms are involved, with aircraft ready for deployment. The operation depends on suitable cloud moisture and weather conditions, which have previously hindered success. Experts caution that cloud seeding offers only temporary relief and does not address pollution sources. Meanwhile, Delhi's air quality remains poor following Diwali celebrations.
