According to the Meteorological Department, there is no chance of the weather changing much in the next few days.

The Environment Minister of Delhi has made this demand.
Due to rising pollution in the capital, Delhi Environment Minister Gopal Rai demanded the central government to provide artificial rain. Gopal Rai had said that the Central government should intervene to address the growing pollution problem in Delhi. Sunita Narayan, former member of EPCA and director general of CSE, said artificial rain is not the solution to pollution.
Artificial rain cannot be produced in entire Delhi. At the same time, natural clouds are also necessary for artificial rain. In winter there are no clouds. Secondly, pollution will increase due to some rains. Even if more artificial rain is created, the pollution will return after a week. In such a situation, partial relief cannot be a solution while spending so much.
