All-female police units are shaking up the male-dominated force in conservative northwest India, hitting the streets to combat sex crimes and a pervasive culture of silence around rape.

Women can face a barrage on India’s streets, enduring everything from lewd jokes and strangers following them – often dismissed as innocent “Eve teasing” – to physical attacks and rape.

No rain in Delhi after cloud seeding trials. Why did the experiment flop?
Delhi conducted cloud seeding experiments to induce artificial rain and reduce pollution but saw no rain due to low moisture in clouds. Despite no rain, the cloud seeding trials led to a slight improvement in air quality, with PM2.5 and PM10 levels dropping in targeted areas. More cloud seeding experiments are planned, depending on atmospheric conditions, to further address Delhi's pollution issues.
