The Delhi government has proposed cloud seeding, a weather modification technique, to tackle the severe air pollution in the National Capital Region (NCR). Environment Minister Gopal Rai urged the central government to approve this emergency measure as Delhi's Air Quality Index (AQI) reached the "severe plus" category. He accused the central government of ignoring repeated requests for an emergency meeting to discuss this proposal since August.
