Delhi Conducts Successful Cloud Seeding Trial: Artificial Rain Project Ready For Launch
The Delhi government's ambitious artificial rain project took flight today with a successful cloud seeding trial over Burari, marking a major milestone in the capital's battle against pollution.
A Cessna aircraft operated by IIT Kanpur, in coordination with the Delhi government's environment department, carried out the four-hour proving flight from Kanpur to Delhi and back, firing cloud-seeding flares between Khekra and Burari. The test aimed to evaluate the aircraft's readiness, flare deployment system, and inter-agency coordination before full-scale seeding begins.
