“The great thing about childhood is that it is the part of life where there is no tension or worries. And the values we learn during this time become part of our personality for life. And I hope this festival leaves an imprint on our hearts and life,” Jaitley said during the opening of the event. Naresh Sharma/Firstpost
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.
