Delhi's Environment Minister Gopal Rai announced plans for artificial rain between November 1 and 15 to tackle the anticipated spike in pollution following Diwali and stubble burning. He revealed a 21-point action plan to address winter air pollution in the capital. Rai stated that a formal request for permission to implement artificial rain has been sent to the Union Environment Minister, but a response is still pending. The artificial rain initiative is part of ongoing efforts to reduce the severe air pollution that regularly affects Delhi during the colder months due to seasonal factors like crop residue burning.
