Summary: This special report focuses on Delhi's battle with severe air pollution and the recent cloud seeding trials conducted by IIT Kanpur to induce artificial rain. The Aam Aadmi Party has launched a scathing attack on the Delhi government calling the pollution control effort 'just a PR stunt and accusing the government of wasting taxpayers money.' The experiment, led by IIT Kanpur Director Maninder Agarwal, was put on hold after initial trials failed to produce significant rainfall due to low moisture levels. Professor Agarwal clarified that the flights went ahead despite the poor conditions to collect crucial data and did achieve a minor reduction in PM2.5 and PM10 levels of about 10 to 20 percent. The political blame game has intensified, with the AAP questioning the BJP-led Delhi government's expenditure on an experiment they claim was doomed to fail.
