Delhi Environment Minister Gopal Rai requested the Central government to grant the necessary permission for artificial rain in the capital to curb air pollution during the winter months.
According to the minister, on the suggestion of artificial rain by the experts, a letter will be written to the Union Environment Minister on Friday to hold a meeting with the experts of IIT Kanpur and all the concerned departments.
Speaking to a news agency, Rai said the speed of wind is low and a drop in temperature is again making the pollutants stagnant.
Environment Minister Gopal Rai on Wednesday said the government is considering to attempt artificial rain in the city on November 20-21.
