Delhi Environment Minister Gopal Rai on Tuesday urged Union Environment Minister Bhupendra Yadav to consider artificial rain as a measure to combat hazardous pollution levels in the capital. “Layers of smog have covered North India. Artificial rain is the only solution to get rid of smog. This is a medical emergency,” Rai told reporters. The Air Quality Index (AQI) surged to an alarming 494 in the ‘severe plus’ category, with some air monitoring stations in Delhi hitting the maximum reading of 500, despite the strict enforcement of Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP) IV measures.
