Hazy Skies, Itchy Eyes, But City Reports Improved AQI

Despite spending over 3 crore rupees, Delhi's cloud-seeding experiment to create artificial rain has failed.

Experts said the attempt did not work because the clouds were not suitable and the aircraft could not fly at the right time. The rain that Delhi eventually saw was from a natural weather system, not the man-made experiment. This shows that cloud-seeding is an unreliable and expensive quick fix for the city's pollution problem.
