The Bengaluru Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC) is training 1000 women to drive buses and light motor vehicles. Previously, the city only had one female bus driver, Prema Ramappa Nadapatti, who had been driving buses for nearly a decade. To conduct the training, the city will use funds from the Central Government’s allotted Nirbhaya Fund, meant for women’s safety and dignity. From these funds, they will also build lounge facilities specifically for women in the major bus stations, and install CCTV cameras in the buses.

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.
