With air quality continuously deteriorating and remaining in the ‘sever’ category, the Delhi Government is planning to induce artificial rain through cloud seeding to give respite to Delhiites from hazardous air. Environment Minister of the Union Territory, Gopal Rai on Wednesday informed that the Aam Admi government is planning artificial rain and held a meeting with scientists from IIT-Kanpur to discuss the proposal on artificial rains.
Scientists explained the Minister Rai and other government officials that cloud seeding can only be attempted when there are clouds or moisture in the atmosphere.
“Experts anticipate that such conditions could develop around November 20-21. We have asked the scientists to prepare a proposal by Thursday that will be submitted to the Supreme Court,” PTI quoted the minister as saying.
