New Delhi is experiencing the same problem after Diwali, but blanketing in dirt-fog. This time, the government has launched its cloud seeding experiment to battle the toxic air. In this there is an attempt to promote artificial rain by spraying silver iodide over the Burari region with the help of small aircraft. The produce require lots of efforts and everything in place. While the first trial didn’t produce rainfall due to low moisture, officials call it a promising start. If this proved successful then New Delhi would be the first Indian city to use cloud seeding for pollution control. But does this thing really works? Palki Sharma decodes the science, the risks, and the global context behind this ambitious plan.
