Delhi to see artificial rains? CPCB may deploy cloud seeding technology

The technique became well-known after it was used during the Beijing in the 2008 Olympics not just to have clear blue skies but also to avert spoilsport rains

Delhi may see rains this winter. With air quality going from bad to worse in a matter of days, authorities are planning to use 'cloud seeding' technology in a bid to ease the deteriorating situation in the national capital.
