As air quality in Delhi-NCR turns toxic, Delhi Environment Minister Gopal Rai on Tuesday urged the Central government to implement artificial rain as a measure to combat the worsening air quality.
"People are finding it difficult to breath. It is disappointing that we received no response over the first letter we wrote to the Union Environment Minister on August 30 regarding cloud seeding to tackle this emergency. We wrote again on October 10 and then on October 23, but still no reply. I appeal to the PM to immediately intervene in this matter," Gopal Rai said.
