Delhi Pollution: AQI Back Above 300, Cloud Seeding Plan On Standby As Smog Persists
Delhi's brief spell of relief from pollution has been short-lived, with the AQI climbing back to 302 and the capital once again recording 'Very Poor' air quality. As a thick haze blankets key parts of the city, cloud seeding may be attempted today if weather conditions are suitable. Sources tell NDTV that two aircraft equipped for the operation are on standby. Meanwhile, reports point to firecrackers as a major contributor to post-Diwali pollution, with vehicles and stubble burning accounting for smaller shares
