The court has also warned the Ministers from neighboring states like Punjab, Haryana, Delhi, and Rajasthan to stop blaming each other and work on finding a solution to improve the air quality in the region. All the states blamed each other and passed the responsibilities on others.
Recently, Gopal Rai, the Environment Minister, held a meeting on 08 November 2023 with the experts of IIT Kanpur. They have found that they can use artificial rain in Delhi to improve the air quality. In the artificial rain, aircraft and helicopters will be used for this cloud seeding to introduce substances like silver iodide or potassium iodide into the clouds. If the meteorological conditions are fever, we can see artificial rain in Delhi on 20-21 November.
And the same is going to be proposed to the Supreme Court today. If the Supreme Court passes this proposal, then experts are scheduling the experiment of Artifical rain in Delhi for 20-21 November 2023. Before that, they must file a full report about the experiment in front of the Supreme Court about how this artificial rain will help improve the region’s air quality.
