Delhi plans artificial rain trials to combat pollution

The Delhi government is planning to conduct tests for artificial rain to tackle pollution in the area. This initiative is dependent on the results of upcoming water sample tests. Environment Minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa mentioned that the government aims to combat pollution through various large-scale projects. These plans will replace the previous smog tower project, which has been deemed unsuccessful. The goal is to address multiple pollution hotspots in the Delhi-NCR region. Sirsa stated that there have already been visible improvements in air quality. The government is accelerating its efforts to ensure that air quality is better than in prior years. The artificial rain plan is still under study, and careful reports are being prepared to assess any potential harmful effects of the chemicals involved. If the initial tests are successful and show no negative side effects, the government will move forward with small-scale trials in outer Delhi. The focus will be on directly targeting sources of pollution to achieve significant results in improving air quality across the region.
